The Worshipful Company of Cordwainers, whose roots date back to 1272, are shoemakers originally known for their highly skilled craftsmanship using the finest goatskin leather from Cordoba in Spain. Today, the Company maintains a strong charitable ethos with a primary focus on nurturing young talent in the fashion and shoemaking industries. The scholarship provides £3,000 per year of study for students pursuing the Footwear Design BA(Hons) degree at De Montfort University. This continuing support from the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers is central to the success of the Footwear Design Programme in preparing students for their future roles in industry.
