Scholarship Description
Seven scholarships are available for new LSE undergraduate students from the UK. Three scholarships are available for new LSE undergraduate students from any country outside the UK (who are classified as having overseas fee status). The Uggla Family has a preference for one overseas Scholar to be from Canada. For each academic year, Scholarships will provide partial tuition fee awards and full financial support for the Scholars’ term-time accommodation and other term-time expenses, including include food, household bills, travel, study books and social events. In addition, Scholars will join the Uggla Family Scholars community and be supported throughout their undergraduate journey through a portfolio of activities and opportunities which include:
