The Painters’ Company Scholarship Scheme was established in 2012 to support undergraduate students every year at London Art Colleges.
Each student receives £5,000 annually from the beginning of their second year until they complete their undergraduate studies, and they are known as a Painters’ Company Scholar. The students are selected entirely on merit.
In addition to the financial award, these students receive support and encouragement from the Company in other ways – mentoring, advice on specific artistic issues, and inclusion in the Company's InPractice programme of panel discussions with leading art practitioners.
On completion of their studies students are offered Honorary Freeman free membership of the Company for five years. Support continues with bespoke informal events and exhibition opportunities.
