Questions.

Am I eligible?

Who counts as a student?

Any current student at a university outside London: MBA, Masters, PhD or undergraduate. You need to still be a student when EUROUT runs in November 2026, so if you graduate before then, this one isn't for you. If you're on exchange, see below.

I'm on exchange. Which school counts?

Where you'll be based in November 2026 is what counts, not where you're enrolled. If your home school is in London but you're on exchange elsewhere and travelling in, apply. If you're enrolled outside London but on exchange in London during the conference, the fund isn't for you, so have a look at the partner school discount or the FLII tickets instead.

I'm an LBS student - can I apply?

This fund is for students travelling in from outside London. LBS students based in London in need of support are covered by the FLII tickets.

What's covered

Does the fund cover my travel or a hotel?

No, the fund covers your ticket and nothing else

I've already bought my ticket. Have I missed out?

No - apply anyway and tell us on the form what you paid. If you're selected we'll refund your ticket rather than send you a code.

Can EUROUT help with a visa?

Unfortunately we can't organise visas.
If you need one to enter the UK, please apply from your location in good time.

Your application

When will I hear back?

There's no closing date, so we review applications as they come in and reply by email. Apply early: the fund is limited and we allocate until it runs out.

Is my application confidential?

Yes. Applications are read by the EUROUT team only, and we don't share your name or your school with anyone. If we ever want to quote something you've written, in a report to the people who fund the scheme for example, we'll ask you first.

What if I'm selected and then can't come?

Tell us as soon as you know at eurout@london.edu so we can pass the ticket to someone else. Codes and tickets can't be transferred to another person directly.

Peter Johnson

Named for Peter Johnson.

The fund is established in the memory of Peter Johnson. He was a LBS staff member who founded the original LGBTQ+ network at LBS back in the 1990s, and was an active supporter of Out in Business.

Peter came out in 1974 as an undergraduate at the School of Oriental and African Studies and has been an activist ever since, across a range of LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS organisations. He co-founded the LGBTQ+ network at LBS in 1996, sponsored Out in Business and co-chaired PROUD@LBS, the School's LGBTQ+ and allies staff network. As Senior Admissions Manager for the Masters in Finance he championed outreach to LGBTQ+ candidates, the Reaching Out scholarship programme, and the option for applicants to self-identify. He retired in 2022 and sits on the EUROUT Advisory Board.
