Mick Jagger has honoured his late designer girlfriend L'Wren Scott by establishing a fashion scholarship in her name.

The three-year fund at London's Central Saint Martins school will begin in October.

Announcing the scholarship from the Rolling Stones star on Friday, Saint Martins spokesman Fabio Piras tells WWD.com, "I am very grateful to receive this extremely generous scholarship package, gifted by Mick Jagger in L'Wren Scott's name.

"Our students sacrifice much to take up this course and work extremely hard when they are here."

Scott, who dressed stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman, took her own life in March, aged 49.
