Fulbright/London School of Economics and Political Science Award

The Fulbright London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Award covers the first year of a taught master's or the first year of any master's research programme in any discipline at LSE. Students must apply for admission to LSE in the normal way and will only be accepted if they meet the required admission criteria. As the aim is to foster cultural understanding between the US and UK, preference will be given to applicants who do not have extensive experience in the UK. The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is the world's leading dedicated social science institution, founded in 1895 with a global reputation for academic and research excellence. LSE offers over 140 taught master's programmes in a wide range of social science subjects including international development, economics, human rights, gender, finance, law, and media communications. The award provides a full tuition waiver for the first year of study, a living stipend of £22,363, and a $1,500 travel stipend. Although the grant period is 10 months, tuition waivers cover the entire first year and student visas are not impacted by grant length. Grantees also receive international travel benefits, accident and sickness health benefits, 24/7 mental health support, and 12 months of non-competitive eligibility (NCE) hiring status within the federal government.
