It is linked to LSE's Executive MSc in Cities, a programme focused on urban governance, policy, leadership, and the challenges facing cities. The scholarship is designed for professionals who work in national, regional, or local government and who can demonstrate a strong commitment to public service. It provides full tuition support, making it particularly relevant to experienced government officials who need financial assistance to undertake the executive degree.
