LSE has set aside a significant amount of funding to provide scholarships for asylum seekers and refugees, in response to the ongoing crisis across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Scholarships are available to cover tuition fees and up to £14,400 in maintenance costs for offer holders who have the following classification:
- asylum seeker
- refugee
- person with humnitarian protection
Priority will be given to those who are applying for their first master's progamme and to recent graduates who were eligible for maintenance support during their undergraduate studies on the basis of their financial circumstances.
