Up to 10 scholarships are available through the Programme, which typically consist of:
Seven scholarships for new LSE undergraduate students from the UK.
Three scholarships for new LSE undergraduate students from any country outside the UK (who are classified as Overseas fee status). The Uggla Family has a preference for one overseas Scholar to be from Canada.
For each academic year, scholarships will provide partial tuition fee awards and a full maintenance stipend to cover costs including food, household bills, travel, study books and social events.
In addition, Scholars will join the Uggla Family Scholars community and be supported throughout their undergraduate journey through a series of activities and opportunities which include:
A bespoke programme to develop academic and personal skills
Unique opportunities including visits to top law firms and workshops with guest speakers
Access to a dedicated careers adviser
Engagement and mentorship with the Uggla Family
*In order to benefit fully from the Programme, Scholars are strongly encouraged to take up a spot in an LSE Halls of Residence, which will help you to establish a sense of community as Uggla Family Scholars at LSE. If you would prefer to reside elsewhere (including your family home) during your studies, please let us know by providing a brief explanation in your Scholarship Application form.
Find details on how to apply for all our scholarships, including the Uggla Family Scholars Programme, here.
To be considered for the Uggla Family Scholars Programme, applicants must have accepted a conditional or unconditional offer of admission on any undergraduate programme at LSE. Candidates must be from low-income households and be able to demonstrate financial need.
Preferred candidates
LSE is looking to support undergraduate students from underrepresented groups as set out in our Access and Participation Plan. We therefore are looking to encourage:
applications from students who live in an area of low progression to higher education. This is determined by home postcode, which must be in TUNDRA MSOA quintile 1 or 2. Check your postcode to see if you have ‘Quintile 1’ or ‘Quintile 2’ next to TUNDRA MSOA in the table. More information about TUNDRA,
applications from students who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM),
applications from underrepresented Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds,
applications from students who are care-experienced,
applications from students with disabilities,
applications from students from Canada.
