Aspire Scholarship
The LSI's Aspire Scholarship supports high-achieving students who have the determination and leadership potential to make a difference but lack sufficient resources. If you can demonstrate a qualifying academic or professional record and a household income below £52,000 (or USD 70,000), you can qualify for this scholarship, creating the space for your abilities to flourish.
-
Covers £3,000 of tuition fees for any LSI master’s programme.
-
Awards are limited. 20 scholarships are available per cohort of students, offered to qualifying applicants on a first-come-first-served basis. To secure yours, avoid delays.
This is a needs-based scholarship intended for applicants who genuinely cannot afford the tuition fees, either independently or with financial support from relatives, employers, or government loan schemes, and who would therefore be unable to enrol without the scholarship.
