I'm afraid this conversation is on the wrong track: LSE currently offers some £4million per annum in various types of financial assistance to students...check it out on the School website....

Do you know if any of them are not financially based?

The Dangoor scholarship states that:

"You must be expecting your fees to be paid by your LEA (for which you, or more usually, your parental income must be less than £21,475)"

I quadruple the parental income quota. :eek:

Infact, i don't know any of my mates who would be expecting to have there fees paid by LEA.

confused?

i heard that you have to write a 500 word personal statement saying why you deserve the scholarship. Is this true??

Yes. Check out the financial support page. Download the application form. Deadline is May 6th 2005. Unfortunately you cannot express a preference for which schlarship you wish to receive. So it is important that you emphasise on the personal statement which one you would like to be considered for. You also need to provide an academic reference (from your tutor).

No, don't do that. I think you'll find you need to write a new one, the application form does state certain things you need to mention.

PS: Are you actually going to the LSE? You say in your sig that you're not sure.

Last year, one of my friend received the letter from LSE giving him about 6000, and asked him to choose LSE as firm choice, then they offered 12000 instead of 6000 if he got AAAB(or AAAC i don't remember). As he said you must write another statement rather than PS you wrote in UCAS to explain why you need this scholarship with some evidence about your family's finance. Now he's studying at LSE with scholarship of 12000. Ah, he's international student, I'm don't know about scholarship for English students.

I guess you're after the Stelios Schlarship? It is a generous £5,000 per annum.
