The Uggla Family Scholarships Programme consists of a generous financial package covering partial tuition fee costs and full living costs, in addition to guidance, support and opportunities throughout the full duration of students’ undergraduate studies at LSE to help position themselves for future success.

Please find details on how to apply for the Uggla Family Scholarships Programme, as well as all other LSE scholarships, here.

Please email the form, along with any supporting documents, to financial-support@lse.ac.uk.

The Uggla Family Scholarships Programme is open to all LSE conditional and unconditional offer holders (both UK and international students) who have received and confirmed their offer.

There are 10 scholarships available – 7 for UK students and 3 for international students (with a preference for 1 international student to be from Canada).

Please see here for the financial amount the scholarships are worth.

Please note that while the Uggla Family Scholarship Programme consists of a generous financial package of over £20,000 for both UK and international students, it is not designed to cover the full cost of tuition fees.

The Uggla Family Scholarships Programme provides a partial tuition fee award and a maintenance stipend which covers full maintenance costs.

The Uggla Family Scholars are expected to cover the remainder of the tuition fee costs either through student loans schemes available to them, or their own individual payments or means.

In addition to the financial support, Scholars will join the Uggla Family Scholars community and be supported throughout their undergraduate journey through a portfolio of activities and opportunities which include:

• Pre-arrival support and guidance
• Guaranteed accommodation in an LSE hall of residence
• Expert academic mentoring
• Access to an alumni buddy scheme
• A bespoke programme to develop academic and civic leadership skills
• A portfolio of careers opportunities, projects and internships
• Engagement and mentorship with the Uggla family
