Mick Jagger has set up a scholarship to London’s Central Saint Martins in memory of late girlfriend L'Wren Scott, who tragically killed herself last year.
The Rolling Stones frontman’s scholarship will award the honors -- which covers tuition and a portion of living expenses -- to a master's degree student. Scott had ties to the Central Saint Martins, with a longtime friendship with late course director Louise Wilson.

The institution’s Fabio Piras, who currently serves as the course director, said the school was “very grateful to receive this extremely generous scholarship package.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Scott took her own life in Manhattan home last March. She was 49.
In the wake of her death, Jagger said he was “still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.”
