Sorbonne University has been supporting high-level sports since 1988. The Passport scholarship program involves an average of 35 athletes each year. In partnership with Insep, the success of this approach is due to the daily involvement of the community: education departments for timetable adjustments, teaching staff for teaching aids and fellow students for course sharing and mutual support.
