Jewellery Foundation Programme Support Grants
What financial support is available for students joining the Jewellery Foundation Programme in 2027-28?
Our Jewellery Foundation Programme, accredited by the Goldsmiths’ Centre, is a free, five day a week, full-time training programme created to help you take the first steps in your jewellery-making career. Through hands-on experience with both traditional and new jewellery-making techniques, you’ll build the essential skills needed to succeed as a goldsmith, diamond mounter, or setter.
With support from the Goldsmiths’ Foundation, we are able to provide means tested small maintenance grants, designed to help you to successfully participate in the training course by contributing to travel or other living costs. The grant is conditional on your attendance on the Jewellery Foundation Programme, which must be 85% or higher.
As guidance, previous awards have been up to £4,000, awarded on a tiered basis dependent on family income. The upper limit is a family income of £80,000 or less.
