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.
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 avaialable
for candidates who are looking for help, competition is generally
very high. You are therefore encouraged to investigate funding
possibilities as early as possible and it is suggested that
you submit your application to join the course as early as possible
as in some instances a firm offer from the University of a place
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
fice 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.
