LSE MSc Scholarship to promote human rights in Israel and Palestine/Occupied Territories
The Sir Siegmund Warburg scholarship has been made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor. It offers Palestinian and Israeli students the opportunity to undertake the full-time MSc Human Rights programme at LSE.
Applicants must be resident in Israel, Palestine/ Occupied Territories or Palestinian camps in Syria, Jordan or Lebanon and in possession of a formal offer of a place on the MSc Human Rights at LSE.
They must be able to demonstrate both financial need and the potential to engage in, promote and set high standards for human rights work in the region. Eligible applicants will be required to submit a personal statement in which they should explain how they meet the criteria set out for the scholarship and how they envisage putting their study programme to practical use.
The scholarship has a value of £28,000 which will cover the tuition fee of £21,576 with the remainder available to support living expenses. Further LSE funds may be available.

2. Once holding an offer of a place, eligible students will be invited to apply for the Sir Siegmund Warburg Scholarship.
