Student Bursaries - giving everyone the chance to learn
“This opportunity has allowed my soul to sing because I am actually doing what makes me feel free and happy.” Angela Tulloch, Fine Artist and City Lit student bursary recipient.
Each year, over 1000 students apply for help with course fees, materials, and assistance with travel and family care. Your gift makes sure that financial need isn’t a barrier to education.

We are a charity, you can make a difference
Your gift can allow a single parent to discover a new skill, which will transform their lives. It can support our work with the deaf community, ensuring people across the UK can acquire sign language and lip reading provision. It can help us to further develop the UK’s only orchestra led by people with learning disabilities. In short, it will mean that City Lit is there for all Londoners for years to come.
Legacies – donations that make a difference
"City Lit brought the best out of her and she was proud of her acheivements." Mary Hurworth's family.
Mary Hurworth, a regular art student for over 25 years, had a joie de vivre that shone through in her art and in her love for City Lit. Through a gift in her will, Mary made sure that others would have the same opportunity to follow new pathways in art. Now, every student who uses the Digital and Design Lab, renovated with the help of Mary’s gift, will be able to share in her passion for art.
Leave us a gift in your will?
Making a will is one way of looking after the people we care about. It is also a way of helping those organisations that we have been passionate about in our lifetime. Gifts from City Lit students and their families make it possible for others to develop new skills and transform lives. A legacy which will make a real difference. Further info and Legacy FAQ >
