Scholarships
Scholarships have the power to leverage long-lasting change at the heart of the social mobility crisis, whilst ensuring the brightest minds are positioned to have the greatest impact on the future.
Why do scholarships matter?
Our bold ambition is to transform access to London Business School. Scholarships will ensure we attract the brightest minds, enriching the entire LBS community.
Competition for the very best students is steep
Our peers attract top talent with endowed scholarships for over 60% of their students. Whilst we have grown our portfolio of support, we’re still only able to provide financial help to up to 25% of our students. Campaign gifts will allow us to double our scholarship offering through both merit and needs-based support.
Academic excellence is crucial
A number of newly established scholarship programmes are supporting our efforts to attract the best students. The Campaign will increase our ability to vie for the brightest minds – from the UK and around the globe.
Transforming access to LBS
We are committed to significantly increasing the diversity of our student body beyond geography, by supporting traditionally under-represented groups in business education.
Investing in scholarships at LBS
As a result of the Campaign we aim to achieve:
- A more competitive offer for the very best applicants
- 51% female representation across our student body
- 13% Black and mixed Black heritage representation across our student body
- Greater representation and inclusion of those from lower socio-economic backgrounds
