The Trust is a registered charity founded by Christie’s in 1986. Since its founding year, the Trust has distributed almost half a million pounds to Christie’s Education students from across the world in scholarships, grants and awards. Learn more about recent Christie’s Education Trust scholars here.

The Trust relies solely on gifts and donations from Christie’s Education alumni and friends. A donation to the Trust will help us plan our future growth and sustain the Christie’s Education scholarship programme, thus helping us to educate and inspire the next generation of global cultural leaders.

Our approach — based on four key principles: fairness, transparency, consistency and practicality — puts us at the forefront of establishing best practice for the art market.
