Mansion House Scholarship
Application Form
Purpose of the Mansion House Scholarship
The Mansion House Scholarship Scheme exists to fund scholarships for students
and young business executives from overseas to travel to the United Kingdom to
study or to undertake training or work experience in the Financial Services Sector.
Application procedure
The Scheme is administered as a Charitable Trust, with an independent Chairman
and four appointed Trustees. Nevertheless the selection of scholars remains in the
personal gift of the Lord Mayor of the City of London and those awarded
scholarships are known as Mansion House Scholars. Scholarships are offered in
those countries which the Lord Mayor visits each year and selections are made on
the advice of the British Ambassadors, High Commissioners, Consuls General and
their staffs and, where appropriate, City of London representational offices. In
some cases, the awards are linked closely to the Government sponsored
Chevening Scholarship Scheme, whose selection procedures are now well
established.
Award value
Awards are usually in the region of £5,000 to £7,500 and are restricted to those
applying to study or to undertake training in the Financial Services sector or in
related subjects.
Applications
Applications for Mansion House Scholarships should be made to the British
Embassy in Tunis. Complete applications should be sent by email to
BritishEmbassyTunis@fco.gov.uk with the following subject line: “Mansion
House Scholarship Application – (your name)”

information concerning family, educational and professional backgrounds, together
with an indication of what training is being sought in UK - and why, coupled with
academic and professional references as appropriate.
The British Embassy will then forward shortlisted application forms to the
Secretary for final approval by the Lord Mayor of London.
