Funding Opportunities
International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship
The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship (formerly known as the Confucius Institute Scholarship) is offered by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation (CLEC) to support students and Chinese language teachers for study of International Chinese Education and related majors at Chinese universities. The scholarship covers various program types including Doctor's Degree (DTCSOL), Master's Degree (MTCSOL), Bachelor's Degree (BTCSOL), One-Academic-Year Study, One-Semester Study, and Four-Week Study programs. The scholarship aims to satisfy the growing demand for Chinese language teachers and facilitate Chinese language education internationally. Applicants must be non-Chinese citizens in good physical and mental condition with good academic performance. They must be committed to Chinese language education and related work. Age requirements vary by program type, generally between 16-35 years old (up to 45 for current Chinese language teachers). Various HSK and HSKK test score requirements apply depending on the program level chosen.
Alf Waddington Scholarship
The Alf Waddington Scholarship is offered by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). This scholarship was established by Ms Sue Howes, who grew up on a council estate in the North of England and graduated from LSE in 1972 with a BA in Sociology. The scholarship aims to enable students from disadvantaged backgrounds to benefit from an LSE education. The scholarship is available to applicants studying a one-year taught master's programme within the Department of Sociology at LSE. There is one scholarship available each year, with the value to be confirmed, and the award will contribute to tuition fees.
LSE Excellence Scholarship
LSE Excellence Scholarships are prestigious awards for exceptional Postgraduate Taught students joining the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2026. These scholarships recognise applicants who demonstrate outstanding academic ability and strong potential to thrive in their chosen programme. The scholarship is available to applicants of Postgraduate Taught programmes in select LSE departments including Accounting, Anthropology, Gender Studies, Geography and Environment, Health Policy, International Development, International History, LSE Law School, Mathematics, Media and Communications, School of Public Policy, Sociology, and Statistics. No separate financial support application is required as awardees are identified based on their application for admission, with awards made on a rolling basis until all allocations are complete.
LSE Access to Education Undergraduate Scholarships
LSE offers awards which can cover full tuition fees and living costs for those holding an offer of admission to an LSE undergraduate programme who meet specific eligibility criteria. The scholarships are designed to support students with particular immigration statuses who may not have access to standard student finance. Full and partial awards are available to cover tuition fees (either at Home or Overseas rate) and living costs for the entire length of the undergraduate programme. Priority is given to those unable to access funding from Student Finance England or its national equivalents in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, with each case assessed on individual need.
Graduate Support Scheme
The Graduate Support Scheme (GSS) is a need-based financial support program offered by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) for graduate students. Each year, LSE provides around £3 million in GSS funding to help both Home and Overseas students applying for diploma and taught master's programmes who do not have the necessary funds to meet all their costs of study. The scheme assesses applicants based on financial need through a means-tested process, rather than academic merit. GSS awards are intended to supplement funding already secured or expected, rather than providing a full funding package. After submitting an application for admission to LSE, applicants gain access to the Graduate Application Portal which includes a link to the LSE Graduate Financial Support online application. The value of GSS awards ranges from £5,000 to £20,000, depending on financial need. This scheme is aimed at supporting applicants who already have some amount of funding secured and need additional support to cover all their study costs. Students with greater financial need may be considered for other LSE scholarships offering higher levels of funding.
