Scholarship overview

The LSHTM Fund Scholarship is made possible by donors to the LSHTM Fund, supported by alumni and friends of the School. It supports global health leaders of the future.

The 2026-27 award is intended for one excellent candidate who could not take up a place at LSHTM without this financial support. It is open to overseas-fee applicants from low and middle income countries for a one-year, full-time, London-based MSc.
