About

The Worshipful Company of Curriers is a historic City of London Livery Company founded in 1272. Like many Livery Companies today, it is no longer a craft guild, supervising and regulating a specific business activity. It has developed into a modern fellowship involved in a range of contemporary activities with a lively and enthusiastic membership. Charity and education are amongst the main pillars of the Company’s activities. The Company’s charitable activities are focused on welfare and education in the leather industry and the communities of London.

The Worshipful Company of Curriers are pleased to provide a placement bursary of £3,500 to fashion accessories students to contribute towards course tuition fees and living expenses.

The scholarship will be assessed based on financial need and academic merit. It will provide a contribution towards tuition fees, course costs and living expenses for home students and a contribution to tuition fees only for international students.

Applications are welcome from those who are in financial hardship and those who will benefit from undergraduate studies to realise their full potential.

Receiving payment

The bursary will provide a contribution towards tuition fees, course costs and living expenses for a Home student and a contribution to tuition fees only for an International student.

Tuition fees will be paid directly from the award into the University’s Tuition Fees account.

Living expenses payments will be paid in termly instalments via BACS to the Home student for the duration of the course.
