When you complete your UCAS application form, you will have the opportunity to share with your chosen universities whether you have been in care, or are estranged from your parents or carers.
The question for care experienced students is ‘Have you been in care?’ and for estranged students ‘Would you consider yourself estranged from your parents?’
The LEAPS website contains video guides to locating completing both the care experienced and estranged student declarations.
If you answer ‘Yes’ to either of these questions, the information will be shared with LSE and you will automatically receive the Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary when you enrol at LSE.
If you are eligible for the Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary, you should consider applying for other financial support offered by LSE. More information can be found on our fees and funding pages.
