An impressive £255,000 has been raised since last weekend’s Stelios Scholars 20-year reunion in Monaco, which scholars past and present could attend in person or online.
The Stelios Philanthropic Foundation encouraged past London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Stelios Scholars to contribute whatever they could afford, via the Foundation’s JustGiving page, so as to be able to establish more scholarships in the future. “This way we are encouraging people who benefitted in the past from a Stelios Scholarship to start or increase their own giving back to society,” the Foundation said.

Their donations were matched by the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation raising a total of £255,000, which will fund a further 10 UK scholarships, commencing Autumn 2025.
Sir Stelios and Professor Larry Kramer, LSE President and Vice Chancellor, spoke to over 60 LSE Stelios scholars. There were also inspiring contributions from former or present scholars.
This brings to £3.7m the amount that has been donated by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou for LSE Scholarships to date.
