Michael Peacock Charitable Foundation Scholarships for Postgraduate Study

1. Five Peacock Scholarships are offered for postgraduate study at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) for the academic year 2006/2007. The scholarships are open to students from countries in the former Soviet Union and Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania. Scholarships are tenable only at LSE.

2. The intention behind this programme of scholarship is to aid the transition of these countries to market economies with Western style democratic institutions. The Peacock Scholarships will be awarded to candidates of outstanding academic merit who are able to demonstrate how their studies at LSE will make a genuine contribution towards their country`s future development. Scholars will be asked to give an undertaking to return to their home countries for further study or work on completion of their period at LSE and to provide a clear statement of the work they intend to pursue.

3. The scholarships are open to students who have applied to and been accepted by LSE to follow taught Masters programmes, for a maximum of 12 months, at the School. In exceptional cases, candidates accepted for a Diploma course may be eligible.

4. The value of the scholarships will vary depending on the financial circumstances of the successful candidates. The average award given for the 2005/06 academic session was £22,520. Wherever possible candidates will be expected to make a contribution of the costs of studying at LSE and to this end candidates are encouraged to explore other sources of financial assistance.

5. Interested candidates should apply for admission to a Master`s programme at the School following the School`s normal admission procedures. Applications for admission must reach the Graduate Admissions Office in sufficient time for a formal offer of a place to be made by 28 April 2006.

6. Eligible applicants who receive an offer of admission to a Master`s programme (whether conditional or unconditional) by 28 April 2006 will be considered for this award. Completed application forms must be returned to the Financial Support Office at the School`s postal address by 28 April 2006.

7. An academic reference must be supplied with the application form. It is important that the reference supplied is completed in accordance with the guidelines provided, which can be found here.

8. You must also supply a passport sized photograph with your name on the back, which must accompany your completed application form.

9. Decisions on the award of the Scholarships will normally be taken by the end of June. All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application in writing.


By completing this application form, you will ensure that you receive consideration for this and any other award(s) which you meet the eligibility criteria for. Please return your application form with an academic reference to the Financial Support Office.
