LSE
External Study Scholarships
The
LSE awards three scholarships to External students
who have been offered a place to study at the LSE:
Undergraduate
award: One scholarship is awarded annually to
a student at undergraduate level. This is for two years
and covers full fees and maintenance. It is awarded to
a student who has performed exceptionally well in the
Foundation units of the degrees in Economics, Management,
Finance and the Social Sciences.
Postgraduate
awards: Two scholarships are awarded annually
to students who have successfully completed one of the
degrees in Economics, Management, Finance and the Social
Sciences as External students, and who have also been
accepted for postgraduate study at the LSE. To qualify
students will normally have, or expect to have, a first-class
honours degree. The scholarship covers full fees and maintenance.
Standard
Chartered Bank Scholarships for undergraduate study
Standard
Chartered Bank offers three scholarships at the
LSE. These are awarded annually to students who are both
nationals of, and resident in, Malaysia. Applicants must
have successfully completed either their first year of
a degree in Economics, Management, Finance and the Social
Sciences and have been accepted for direct entry into
the second year of a BSc degree at the LSE. Scholarships
cover full fees and maintenance for two years to allow
each student to complete their undergraduate degree at
the LSE. The top three candidates, who have taken May/June
examinations of that year, will be chosen.
The
Charles Wallace Trust
The
Charles Wallace Trust in conjunction with LSE External
Study offers an annual award of £3,000 for postgraduate
study at the LSE. Application is open to those who are
both nationals of, and residents in, Pakistan. In addition,
applicants should have completed a degree in Economics,
Management, Finance and the Social Sciences as an External
student, and have been offered a place to study on a Masters
programme at the LSE.
How
to apply
To
be considered for a scholarship, you must have already
been offered a place provisionally at the LSE. However,
prior to acceptance, you should also do the following:
Undergraduate
entry: Forms will be available from the British Council
for you to apply for entry to the LSE, through UCAS in
the normal way. If you are only applying to the LSE, please
state on this form that you are applying for this scholarship.
When you apply for entry through UCAS they should also
inform the Director, LSE External Study. You should include
your UCAS number, the degree you are applying for, and
institution you are presently attending, if any.
Postgraduate
entry: You should apply for entry direct to the Graduate
Admissions Office at the LSE. You should also notify the
Director, LSE External Study at the same time.
If
you are offered a place at the LSE, you will automatically
be sent an application form to apply for a scholarship.
You should clearly indicate on this form that you are
an External student (by ticking the relevant box) before
returning the form.
Others
Scholarships
Financial
assistance is sometimes available through various scholarships
or grant schemes. Candidates must however contact, research
and apply directly to the Scholarship authorities.
The
University of London is not able to influence any of the
scholarship awarding authorities and is not responsible
for processing or forwarding applications to them for
funding.
As there are usually only a small number of scholarships available, competition is generally very high. You are therefore encouraged to investigate funding possibilities as early as possible. It is recommended that you submit your application to join the course as early as possible as in some instances a firm offer of a place from the University can be advantageous when asking an organisation for assistance with funding.
Information on scholarships can be found on each of the
following links. (Each link will open a new window.)
If
you are outside the United Kingdom and there is a British Council Office near to you, it might also be worthwhile
checking if they know of any local funding or sponsorships
which are available.
This
page will be updated from time to time with any additional
information about scholarships and other funding that
may become known.
