The Sophia Webster Scholarship

Sophia Webster 2

Launching her scholarship in 2024, Sophia said "It’s crucial that we nurture and support the next generation of designers and today, I am thrilled to announce the creation of the Scholarship for footwear design at 51ºÚÁÏÉçÇø."

The scholarship aims to widen access to this incredible course, ensuring that talent and passion, rather than financial constraints, determine who can pursue their dreams in footwear design. By supporting students from all backgrounds, we can enrich the industry with fresh ideas and unique voices. This scholarship will break down barriers and open doors for those who might otherwise not have had the chance to showcase their talents.
