Benedek Scholarship - London-area study abroad opportunity

Created by a generous donation from Honors alumnus, Peter Benedek, the Benedek London Scholarship supports LSA Honors students who plan to study abroad at the London School of Economics (LSE). Funding for study at the LSE is our top priority but study at other London-area universities may be considered if funds are available. 

Programs at Cambridge and Oxford are not eligible for scholarship funding.

Student travel is subject to university guidelines: see Global Michigan.

Eligibility:   Undergraduate students in an LSA Honors program

Timeline:  Students are encouraged to apply for a scholarship as soon as they have submitted their program application. Decisions will be conditional upon acceptance into a program.

• Academic year and fall semester programs - Application will open the third Monday of January and close on April 1st. In 2024, the application opens at noon on January 15th and closes at noon on April 1st.
