More than 100 of LSE’s newest scholars came together in November 2024 for an event celebrating the beginning of their new academic journeys. These scholars are pursuing their dreams at LSE thanks to philanthropically funded scholarships made possible by our community of generous supporters. In this short film, several first-year scholars discuss the impact they hope to make in the world and the way they felt when they found out they had been awarded a scholarship to study at LSE.

Every year, students like Nick and Zeerak are able to realise their potential thanks to the generosity of LSE alumni and friends who choose to support our Hardship Fund. To help more students benefit from life-changing support in times of adversity, visit lse.ac.uk/Hardship-Fund
