COLFUTURO/LSE Graduate Scholarship Programme

Each year LSE part-funds a number of awards in conjunction with COLFUTURO for Colombian citizens to study one year taught master's, or three year PhD programmes.

Eligibility

This scholarship provides funding for Colombian citizens to study a one-year taught master's programme or three-year PhD programme.

Scholarship amount

COLFUTURO offers up to $50,000 as a loan to cover tuition fees and living costs while studying. Providing certain conditions are met, up to 80% of the loaned amount can be converted into a non-repayable scholarship.

LSE offers a 20% contribution to the tuition fee for all COLFUTURO beneficiaries.

Additionally, one scholarship, covering the full cost of tuition fees, will be awarded to a student of the COLFUTURO Talent Seeding Programme.

How to apply

Applications are made directly to COLFUTURO, under the Programa de Credito-Beca.

While you do not need to have an offer to study at LSE before applying, having an offer to study at LSE is likely to increase your chances of being awarded a Scholarship.

Those selected to receive a COLFUTURO Scholarship have up to two years within which to use their award.

Students with COLFUTURO awards should forward a copy of their award letter to the Financial Support Office either before or after their arrival at the School to enable their top up award to be processed.
