Paul Woolley Centre Scholarship programme

The Paul Woolley Centre Scholarship Programme aims to support students pursuing postgraduate research in the areas covered by the Paul Woolley Centre research agenda.                                                 

The Scholarships are awarded between March and June each year to a maximum number of three outstanding PhD students who have been admitted to the PhD programme of the Finance Department or the Economics Department of the London School of Economics.

The Scholarships are awarded by a Scholarship Committee consisting of Dr Paul Woolley, the Paul Woolley Centre Director Professor Dimitri Vayanos and the Financial Markets Group Director Professor Christopher Polk. The Scholarships provide a stipend to support fees and/or living expenses.

The amount of the award depends on the number of students selected each year and on their current financial position, but it cannot exceed the standard LSE Scholarships: up to £14,000 per annum covering fees and a living allowance. The scholarships last a maximum of three years and are renewable on an annual basis after review.
