About
In common with other Livery Companies, the Cordwainers Company was, in the early and middle ages, responsible for the governance and quality control of its trade in the City of London and the education and training of craftsmen through the system of apprenticeships. This early involvement in education and training has continued to the present day.
The Cordwainers have a strong charitable ethos. Their primary charitable focus is to nurture young talent in the fashion and shoemaking industries.They achieve this by providing scholarships, bursaries and prizes to outstanding students at a number of Universities and colleges. In doing this they continue to promote the profile of shoe education and industry in the UK. Their commitment to modern fashion can be seen through some of their most recent members, such as Jimmy Choo and L.K. Bennett, as well as their strong association with the London College of Fashion, arguably the world’s best training ground for shoe design students.
The scholarship will be assessed on the basis of financial need and academic merit. It will provide a contribution towards course tuition fees.
