Choosing to invest in your future is a significant decision, especially when you are at the beginning of your career or planning a change of direction.
At The Event School London, we understand that ambition is not always matched by immediate financial flexibility. Many talented future event professionals know they want to study, build confidence and gain industry focused training, but need a more accessible route to take that first step.
That is why we've introduced a limited number of enhanced scholarship awards for full-time courses starting in September 2026.
10 enhanced scholarship places are available. Applications close 31 May.
Early closure may apply if places fill.
Supporting Future Event Professionals
The events industry needs people with energy, creativity, professionalism and commercial awareness. It needs organisers, producers, planners, coordinators, marketers and future leaders who understand how to bring people together and deliver experiences with purpose.
For many students, the challenge is not a lack of ambition. It is finding the right training environment, the right structure and the right financial support to begin.
Our enhanced scholarships are designed to support committed applicants who are ready to study seriously, engage fully and start building a professional future in events.
These awards are not just about reducing fees. They are about helping students access opportunity, build momentum and move closer to the industry they want to join.
Scholarships Available for September
The enhanced scholarship range includes three different awards, each designed to support a specific group of applicants.
Digital Student Ambassador Scholarship
The Digital Student Ambassador Scholarship offers a 20% reduction in full-time course fees.
This scholarship is designed for confident, creative applicants who are comfortable appearing on camera and producing regular student content during their course.
It may suit applicants who enjoy social media, storytelling, behind the scenes content and sharing their student experience in an authentic and professional way.
For the right student, this is an opportunity to study event management while also building digital confidence, communication skills and a stronger personal profile.
London Emerging Event Professionals Scholarship
The London Emerging Event Professionals Scholarship offers a 30% reduction in full-time course fees.
This award supports London based applicants aged 18 to 30 who are ready to begin building a career in the events industry.
It is particularly suited to ambitious career starters, school leavers, recent graduates and young adults who want a more direct, industry focused route into events.
London is one of the world’s most important event cities. Studying event management here gives students the chance to learn in a city shaped by major exhibitions, conferences, brand experiences, cultural events, luxury hospitality, weddings, festivals and global business events.
Newham Community Scholarship
The Newham Community Scholarship offers a 40% reduction in full-time course fees.
This is our most significant enhanced award and is designed to support eligible residents of the London Borough of Newham.
Our London campus is based at Novotel London ExCeL, in Royal Victoria Dock, opposite ExCeL London. We are proud to have been part of this local area since 2005 and to help create more accessible routes into professional events education for people in the surrounding community.
For Newham residents with strong ambition and the right commitment to study, this scholarship can provide a valuable opportunity to train locally while preparing for a career in one of London’s most dynamic industries.
Why Study Event Management in London?
London is a powerful place to study events because the industry is visible all around you.
From international exhibitions and corporate conferences to luxury brand launches, weddings, private events, cultural celebrations and live experiences, London offers constant exposure to the scale and diversity of the events sector.
At The Event School London, students learn in an environment shaped by industry practice.
Our full-time courses are designed to help students understand how events are planned, marketed, managed and delivered in real professional contexts.
Students are encouraged to think beyond theory and start developing the confidence, language and applied skills needed to progress into the events industry.
A More Focused Alternative to Traditional Study Routes
Not every student wants a traditional university route. Some want specialist training, smaller classes, direct industry relevance and a more focused path into employment.
Our full-time courses are designed for students who want to study event management in a practical, professional and career focused environment.
The scholarship awards support this approach by helping eligible applicants access a specialist learning experience without committing to a long university pathway.
Securing a Scholarship Place
Scholarship places are limited.
Eligible applicants who are successful can secure their place with a £500 deposit.
Payment options may then be available depending on applicant status and course type.
Eligible UK applicants may be able to pay remaining fees through a monthly payment plan, where applicable.
Eligible EU applicants may be able to pay remaining fees by term, with term fees due one month before the start of each term.
Full payment details will be confirmed in each applicant’s scholarship offer.
Who Should Apply?
You should consider applying if you are serious about building a future in events and are ready to commit to professional study.
These scholarships may be suitable for applicants who are:
Starting their career and looking for structured event management training
Changing direction and wanting to move into the events industry
Based in London and ready to build industry relevant skills
A Newham resident looking for a local route into events education
Confident with digital content and interested in becoming a student ambassador
Looking for a specialist alternative to a traditional university route
You do not need to have everything worked out before you apply. What matters is that you can show motivation, commitment and a clear interest in developing your future in events.
