The Worshipful Company of Cordwainers Scholarship

worshipful-company-of-cordwainers-logo

The continuing support of The Worshipful Company of Cordwainers for the Footwear Design Programme at ذكذكتسئµ is central to its success in preparing students for their future roles in industry. Cordwainers are shoemakers, originally highly skilled craftsmen who used the finest goatskin leather from Cordoba in Spain. The Company’s roots date back to 1272, and the first Charter in 1439 licensed Cordwainers to control the shoe trade within the City of London. Today, the Cordwainers have a strong charitable ethos and our primary focus is to nurture young talent in the fashion and shoemaking industries. The scholarship is for £3,000 per year of study.
