Your connection to LSE can make a difference, in the United States and across the world

Build on the legacy of LSE in the United States
One important part of this wider support is helping talented students from the United States take up their place at LSE. Through the AFLSE Scholarship Fund, alumni and friends have supported more than 150 US students to pursue postgraduate study at the School since the Fund was launched in 1979.
A donation to a student’s education is an investment in a more inclusive and equitable future. I will spend my life paying it forwards in spades. Thank you for welcoming me into the LSE community – and now, into the alumni one.
Destiny’s story shows the difference this support can make. A scholarship gives a student the freedom to focus on their studies and make the most of life at LSE, while forming part of the much broader contribution made by the US community.
