Mick Jagger Starts Scholarship In Honor Of L’Wren Scott

Mick Jagger has established a scholarship in honor of his late girlfriend, fashion designer L’Wren Scott.

The scholarship will allow one master’s degree student per year over a period of three years to attend the elite Central Saint Martins, the London-based college announced this weekend. Scott, who committed suicide last March at age 49, had been close to a former course director at Central Saint Martins, the late Louise Wilson.
