LSE Director Professor Craig Calhoun said ?LSE has enjoyed a strong relationship with India for over a century. This has included welcoming thousands of Indian students to study at the School during this time. We want to ensure that LSE?s doors are open to all talented students, regardless of financial circumstances, and are delighted to cement this relationship further by offering 50 scholarships, for graduate study, for students from India.?

The announcement is made as LSE Director Professor Craig Calhoun tours India with British prime minister David Cameron as part of the largest delegation a British prime minister has ever taken anywhere in the world. Professor Calhoun will seek to reiterate the prime minister?s message that Indian students are ?incredibly welcome? to study and work in the UK.
