Stitch says fund has already raised £90k to sponsor would-be architects from low-income backgrounds

Stitch Architects has launched a scholarship trust to sponsor students from low-income households in London through degrees at architecture schools in the capital.

It said the fund aimed to make a qualification in architecture a realistic ambition for all 16-18-year-olds in the city and diversify the industry’s current pool of talent.

The London Neighbourhood Scholarship Trust will provide architecture students from households with incomes below £25,000 a year with a total of £30,000 to help them through their degree, split into annual £10,000 tranches.
