Going to LSE, my gpa is about 3.52 cum. Any idea of how I can pay for a $40 grad degree without doing it all via loans? Scholarship, fellowship, grant ideas?

For a masters degree: LSE does offer some funding to foreign students. You need to ask them about that. Otherwise, you'll be paying for it in loans. For a PhD, LSE should fully fund you, plus give you a small stipend.

There is the Fulbright scholarship program which the US dept of state provides to allow the best students to get their masters in the UK for Free. It is very competitive and you need to work w the program adviser assigned to your undergrad university. http://www.cies.org/ There is also the Marshall Scholarship program which the British Government provides to help the best US students come to the UK to study their masters for free. This program is also very competitive. http://www.marshallscholarship.org/ Also check w your local Rotary club as they many times provide scholarships for students looking to study abroad or do their masters abroad. Note that all of these programs involve a very long planning process (and understandably, considering the amount of money they pay out) so if you want to receive any of them you are not looking at attending until the 2011-2012 school year.
