Black Heart Foundation (UK) Limited focuses on improving educational access, aspiration, and achievement for under-resourced children and young people by removing financial and social barriers. Its giving is centered on individual scholarship support rather than institutional grants, with programs that fund gap financing for formal and experiential education from preparatory through postgraduate study. The foundation also runs a dedicated arts scholarship with a strong emphasis on visual arts and underrepresented young people in the UK.
Competitive scholarship-style support, generally awarded to individuals as gap funding with amounts varying by need and program. Applications are accepted twice yearly, with separate cohorts for the Black Heart Scholars Programme and Black Heart Art Scholarship Programme.

Monitor the twice-yearly application windows and apply during the published cohort period (e.g., 13 April 2026–23 August 2026). Prepare evidence of educational need, under-resourced background, academic or artistic goals, and how the award will close a specific funding gap; eligibility is primarily UK-based, with some Scholars Programme support available for the US and other resource-limited geographies on a case-by-case basis.
