The LUMS Board of Trustees comprises members of the domestic business community, academics and government representatives. The principal functions of the board are to set policy guidelines and to review the operations of the university.

Many students are admitted to LUMS on the basis of NOP. There are very few number of scholarships that are offered on need/academic achievement basis.
