Information for referees 

The Financial Support Office administers a variety of scholarships and award schemes for incoming students. For many of these awards, we request that the application form is accompanied by an academic reference. These pages are intended to offer guidance to referees. 

The Financial Support Office is not able to obtain references already submitted to the Admissions Office.

Please send any suggestions you have for improving our service or this website to financial-support@lse.ac.uk
