LSE Scholarships

Not particularly brilliant, if you ask me. I am not trying to argue that there is not quite a bit of money in circulation in and around the LSE, however, compared to the number of students, these scholarships are hardly to be considered very significant. I guess listing students with pointlessly rich parents would have about the same significance; one would see that there are a few people for whom money is of no concern during their time at university, yet it does not apply to a significant proportion of the student body.

I do of course recognise its relative value as compared to quite a few other institutions, yet I do not see it as very relevant for the general judgment of an institution, nor very valuable for the general student.

LSE turned down the application of the daughter of billioner steel tycon MITTEL who pledged LSE 200,000 pounds not just once but twice.

I think LSE offer holders are all getting sent letters about this, but omg, how good do they look?! From here.

Could you please point out where I discussed the income of parents with regards to admissions in my post? I was only talking about the economy of being a student once you're there, and how those bursaries have little impact on the general student welfare, and from that I made a comparison to the relative significance of scholarships and rich parents. Whether admissions is biased towards the rich is an entirely different matter.

Not huge sums of money at all, but there is alot more than monetary value to these scholarships.
