Each year LSE awards a number of scholarships, funded by private or corporate donations. The number, value, eligibility criteria and type of scholarships vary from year to year.
All scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial circumstances in the first instance, and secondly take into account academic merit.
How to apply
Once you have an offer of admission (conditional or unconditional) to attend LSE, you should submit by email to financial-support@lse.ac.uk the following:
- LSE Undergraduate Scholarship Application form
- One academic reference - this can be sent by you together with your scholarship application, or it can be sent to us separately by your referee
- Supporting documents - this will vary dependent on the information you have provided; further guidance can be found in the scholarship application form
The deadline for the receipt of LSE Undergraduate Scholarship Applications for offer holders with Home fee status is: 1 June 2023
All scholarship application decisions will be sent by email by the end of August 2023. Please ensure that our domain name - lse.ac.uk - is added to your safe senders list and routinely check your junk/spam folders.
