These awards will be between 5,000 and 500. If you receive an award under the Graduate Merit Scheme you will be invited to apply for further assistance under the Graduate Support Scheme, and your financial circumstances will need to be taken into account. if you are a research student your needs will be considered by the department concerned. However, once you are an LSE student we expect you to have made adequate arrangements for your living costs and fees with or without our assistance before arriving. Please remember that there may be unavoidable increases in costs. Fees Fees information should be read in conjunction with the section financial help.
Most graduate students obtain some form of financial assistance.
Fees cover registration, teaching, first entry to examination, the use of the Library and membership of the Students' Union. They also normally cover teaching and the use of student common rooms at other colleges of the University of London if your programme has intercollegiate arrangements. Fees are fixed a year at a time, normally in the preceding spring. If we offer you a place, we will tell you then which rate will apply to you. Fees are influenced by government rules and guidelines, which may change.
