Graduation is one of the most joyful times of the year, if you're not in financial hardship. For those who are, our funds could help by waiving the full gown hire fee and/or cost of graduation photographs. The Graduation Support Funds are managed and monitored by our Advice Service, independent from LSE.


APPLICATIONS FOR DECEMBER 2025 GRADUATION SUPPORT FUND ARE NOW CLOSED

Thank you for your interest in the Graduation Support Fund (GSF). Applications for assistance with cap and gown hire and/or graduation photography for the December 2025 graduation have now closed.

As stated in our guidance, applications closed at 5pm on Wednesday, 22nd October 2025, or once the funding limit was reached — whichever came first. Unfortunately, no late applications can be accepted or reviewed.

If you have any questions or require further support, please contact the LSESU Advice Service.

For students graduating in Summer 2026, please keep an eye on our website for future announcements regarding GSF applications.

We wish all our graduating students the very best for their upcoming ceremonies!
