Student Funding | City & Guilds | London Art School
About this grant
At the interview I was helped to understand the student loan system and was invited to apply for a grant that I was successful in gaining. During my three years at City & Guilds of London Art School I was able to pay for my course thanks to the grant, without which I would have found it very difficult to study at this level. [...] For his full three years of study at the Art School, Luc received a grant funded by the Lawrence Atwell Charitable Trust, run by The Skinners’ Company.
“When I decided to apply to Art School, I was concerned about financing my studies, but the drive to become an artist was strong. After my interview I was so happy to be offered a place on the course! [...] We know that it can be difficult to cover the cost of your studies and living expenses. The Art School has a number of bursaries available each year to support applicants, as well as students who are already with us. These bursaries have come about through generous donations from a number of organisations and individuals who value the commitment of the Art School to champion specialist subjects.
