Uggla Family Scholarship details

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 groups such as:

• 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, Minority, Ethnic (BME) backgrounds,
• applications from students who are care-experienced,
• students of all gender identities to ensure gender balance across the ten scholarships, 
• applications from students with disabilities,
• applications from Canada as one of the overseas Uggla Family Scholarships will be awarded to an offer holder from Canada.
