1. SPRINGBOARD SCHOLARSHIP

The career benefits that a postgraduate degree can bring are massive, but without the salary of a postgraduate

professional the fees can be difficult to afford. We know our teaching qua lity is second to none, which is why we’re

confident that your career will benefit directly from an LSBF postgraduate degree. So confident, in fact, that we will

only begin taking payment for your tuition should your salary increase by 50% in the 2 years following your

graduation. If your salary does not increase by this amount, you will receive your tuition completely free.

Successful applicants will enrol on their choice of postgraduate degree programme as well as select an

industry-focused short course

Tuition fees are not due until 2 years after graduation from degree programme

A salary increase of at least 50% (compared to student's pre-LSBF income) is expected within the two years

after graduation. If this benchmark has not been met - tuition payments will not be due. If the 50% salary increase has not been achieved, graduates are responsible for providing proof of salary

Funded by: Aaron Etingen, LSBF Executive Chairman and Founder

Open to: 50 exceptional postgraduate applicants from the UK, European Union, Brazil, Russia, India or China.
