The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) is offering the Humanitarian Scholarship to support talented individuals affected by conflict and displacement. This scholarship provides £30,000 to help cover tuition fees and living costs for full-time, on-campus master’s programmes in tropical medicine, global health, humanitarian studies, and related fields.
LSTM’s mission focuses on improving global health equity, and this award enables students who have faced humanitarian crises to pursue advanced education and contribute to health leadership worldwide.
