London School Of Economics And Political Science (LSE) 2024 Ambassador E.O. Kolade Masters Scholarship For Sub Saharan African Students

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is thrilled to offer the prestigious Ambassador E.O. Kolade Scholarship for the academic year 2024/25. This opportunity is targeted at academically excellent African students who are keen on pursuing Master’s programmes at LSE. This initiative underscores LSE’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment, enriching its student body with bright minds from across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Ambassador E.O. Kolade Scholarship is a testament to LSE’s dedication to supporting students with outstanding academic potential but who may be inhibited by financial constraints. Valued at £27,400, the scholarship prioritizes candidates based primarily on their financial need, followed by their academic excellence. To be eligible, applicants must hail from and reside in a Sub-Saharan African country, demonstrating both a high level of academic merit and a clear financial need. Applicants must either receive a conditional or unconditional offer from LSE and have completed a Graduate Financial Support Application by the April 25, 2024 deadline.

Applying for this scholarship involves a straightforward process. Prospective students must first secure an admission offer from LSE and then submit a Graduate Financial Support Application, accessible via the Graduate Applicant Portal. This portal not only facilitates the tracking of your admission application but also provides a gateway to apply for financial support. Note that the submission of the Graduate Financial Support Application makes you automatically considered for the Graduate Support Scheme and potentially other scholarships if you meet their criteria, without the need for multiple applications. The selection process is meticulous, aiming to identify individuals who not only exhibit academic brilliance but also demonstrate a genuine need for financial assistance. Successful candidates will be notified between May and July 2024, making it imperative to ensure that emails from lse.ac.uk are not redirected to your junk inbox.
