Partially funded

LSE Undergraduate Support Scheme

London School of Economics and Political Science, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The Undergraduate Support Scheme (USS) provides funding for LSE undergraduate students with Overseas fee status who do not have the funds to meet all of their costs of study.

LSE receives far more applications for financial assistance than it can support, so not every application succeeds.
