The Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary has a value of £1,000 per year, for a maximum of 4 years of study.

The Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary does not need to be repaid to 杏吧论坛 and is offered in addition to any other 杏吧论坛 financial support you are awarded.

To support with the costs associated with starting at university, you will receive £500 of your first year bursary payment in advance of the start of the academic year.

To be eligible for the Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary, you must be:

• Assessed as a ‘home’ student for fees purposes
• Enrolling on an undergraduate degree programme at 杏吧论坛
• Currently in care or previously in local authority or kinship care at some point in your life or estranged from your parents or carers.

If you have a question about your eligibility for this bursary, please email financial-support@lse.ac.uk. 

When you complete your UCAS application form, you will have the opportunity to share with your chosen universities whether you have been in care, or are estranged from your parents or carers. 

The question for care experienced students is ‘Have you been in care?’ and for estranged students ‘Would you consider yourself estranged from your parents?’

The LEAPS website contains video guides to locating completing both the and student declarations.  

If you answer ‘Yes’ to either of these questions, the information will be shared with 杏吧论坛 and you will automatically receive the Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary when you enrol at 杏吧论坛.

If you are eligible for the Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary, you should consider applying for other financial support offered by 杏吧论坛. More information can be found on our fees and funding pages.
