LSA chief says new scheme has come at perfect time to help fleeing students

The first student bursaries awarded by the Zaha Hadid Foundation could go to Ukrainian refugees.

The newly launched foundation, whose aims are to build on the Iraqi-born architect’s legacy and encourage more diversity in the profession, is funding three part II places at the London School of Architecture (LSA) for students from low-income or refugee backgrounds.

LSA head of school and chief executive Neal Shasore said: “We would be thrilled if this support were to go to a Ukrainian refugee at this terrible time. We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.”
