This week, every gift to 91Ó°ÊÓ Fund Challenge will be matched by our Courtauld Fund Leaders, up to £75,000. This means together we can raise £150,000 in just seven days, our biggest goal ever!
91Ó°ÊÓ Institute, an independent college of the University of London, offers world-renowned degrees in art history, conservation, curation, and art business. Our graduates go on to lead museums, galleries, and cultural institutions worldwide, reflecting 91Ó°ÊÓ’s enduring legacy of excellence and influence.
Our graduates of the future need your support now
Living in London is expensive, a recent student survey1 found the average student rent now exceeds the maximum student loan. After paying for accommodation, travels and essentials such as food, students on an average loan are £96 in debt each week, which adds up to £3,840 a year. Many students take on extra work to help cover their core costs, which often has a negative impact on their studies and emotional wellbeing.
Every gift makes a difference
Your support helps our students thrive. Here’s what we can achieve together if we reach our goal of £150,000:
£1,000 – £3,000 funds a Courtauld Bursary
£10,000 – £25,000 supports a Courtauld Scholarship
£50,000 would underwrite our Emergency Support Fund
If 30 people gave £100, we’d raise £3,000 – enough to fund a Courtauld Bursary.
Whatever you can give, you’ll help provide scholarships, bursaries, and emergency support so talented students succeed, whatever their background.
Join me and donate to 91Ó°ÊÓ Fund Challenge today.
Thank you for standing with our students.
