Football Foundation funds scholarship in memory of Stephen Lawrence

It will provide architecture place at Greenwich University

Aims to ‘reinforce the vital role of education and sport’

A new scholarship programme commemorating the memory of Stephen Lawrence is to be funded by the Football Foundation, with the aim of supporting black students from low socioeconomic backgrounds to train as architects and help develop more inclusive infrastructure for the national game.

The Stephen Lawrence Scholarship has been developed in conjunction with Greenwich University and will see one student each academic year provided with a fee waiver for the establishment’s MArch Architecture programme. The recipient of the scholarship will also work with the Football Foundation outside their studies.
