Apply for London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Masters Awards funding for taught master’s students
LSE Masters Awards Overview
LSE Masters Awards (LMAs) are part of LSE’s portfolio of funding for taught master’s students. The primary scheme for these students is the Graduate Support Scheme (GSS), which is designed to supplement other funding secured by a candidate (by way of savings, loans and external scholarships).
Shortlisting for LSE Masters Awards scholarships created by donors to LSE is done from the long list of offer holders whose financial need is too great for the GSS, and who have indicated on their financial support application that they wish to be considered for other scholarships (by providing further information in the personal statement of the LSE Graduate Financial Support Application).
As the LSE Masters Awards scholarships vary from year to year, a fund is set aside to provide a number of LMAs for those candidates who are not eligible for the available scholarships, because of their restricted criteria.
LMAs are sometimes used to supplement scholarships where the funds are not sufficient to meet the shortfall of the eligible candidate.
Preference is given to those from low and middle income countries, particularly if loans are not available or if those countries are under-represented in other award schemes administered by the School.
LSE Masters Awards can range in value from £5,000 to a full award.
LSE Masters Awards Eligibility
To apply for LSE funding for programmes beginning in September 2024, you must:
– Submit your application for the programme (See how to apply for graduate study at LSE)
– Submit your Graduate Financial Support Application Form via the Graduate application tracker
– Receive an offer of a place (conditional or unconditional)
by 5pm (UK time GMT+1) on 25 April 2024.
Please complete Section G: Personal Statement of the Graduate Financial Support Application Form in order to be considered for any other LSE Scholarships for which you meet the criteria. If you only wish to be considered for the Graduate Support Scheme, you do not need to complete the personal statement.
The outcome to your Graduate Support Scheme application will be displayed on the application tracker after you have received an offer. Successful applicants selected for other LSE Scholarships or awards will be notified by email throughout May, June and July 2023.
How to apply
Guiding you through the process
We understand that applying for graduate study can be an anxious time, but we have put together some helpful information to guide you through the process.
Please read carefully the information in this section and follow the instructions given sensibly; this will help to ensure that everything runs quickly and smoothly.
You will be able to track the progress of your application online. Most delays and confusion are caused when applicants do not follow our instructions.
You must apply early, as competition for programmes at LSE is intense. Your application will not be considered until we have received all your supporting documents. Wherever possible you should submit all of your documents with your online application. You should expect to wait an average of 8 weeks for a decision when applying for a taught programme; decisions for a research programme may take longer than this.
Important: LSE expects all applicants to complete their application materials without the use of paid agents or other paid professional assistance. The use of such services may lead to the rejection of application materials, the revocation of an admissions offer, cancellation of admission, or involuntary withdrawal from the University.
Unscrupulous agents have been known to charge large sums to applicants, and then to submit fraudulent transcripts and references. They have refused to allow applicants access to their own records on our Graduate Applicant Portal Applicants have been left unable to attend LSE and having to sue the agent for financial redress. Agents who claim to ‘guarantee’ entry to LSE are lying. All applications are considered on their own merits and all applicants can and should submit their own information.
