RCA launch Virgil Abloh Scholarship

A full tuition fee scholarship, including maintenance support, totalling £35,000 will be offered to an extraordinarily talented, but financially restricted, Black British student on any programme in the School of Design from the next academic year.

Alongside the educational funding, the student will benefit from industry experience and networking opportunities, and will be supported by British fashion designer Dr. Samuel Ross and fellow creative industries partners throughout their studies. Having joined as an Honorary Visiting Professor in 2020, Virgil held a close relationship with the RCA. He embodied the RCA’s spirit of collaboration and ingenuity, and hoped to enable students from across the College to benefit from his wealth of experience as a leading figure in international fashion and design.

The annual scholarship will apply to all areas of the RCA School of Design postgraduate study including Fashion, Textiles, Design Products, Service Design and Intelligent Mobility among other innovative courses. Sir Jony Ive – RCA Chancellor said: “Virgil’s creativity and generosity will continue to have an impact at the RCA through this remarkable scholarship.

Zowie Broach, Head of Programme, MA Fashion at the RCA said: “Virgil’s energy and intention was truly something else.
