The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Fund Scholarship 2026-27 is a prestigious, fully funded opportunity for talented students from low- and middle-income countries to pursue a one-year, full-time, London-based Master’s degree in public health or related fields at LSHTM—one of the world’s leading institutions for global and tropical health education.

Funded through generous support from LSHTM alumni and friends, this scholarship removes financial barriers for exceptional candidates committed to advancing public health in their home countries.

Key Benefits of the LSHTM Fund Scholarship

  • Full Tuition Fees — Covers 2026-27 overseas tuition fees (including any mandatory field trip fees)
  • Living Allowance — Tax-free stipend of £22,000 per year to support living expenses in London

This comprehensive package allows recipients to focus fully on their studies and future impact in global health.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the LSHTM Fund Scholarship 2026-27, applicants must meet all of the following requirements:

  • Be a national of, and currently resident in, a low- or middle-income country (as classified by the World Bank)
  • Intend to return to a low- or middle-income country upon completion of studies
  • Meet LSHTM’s minimum English language requirements (evidence must be provided by Monday, 15 June 2026)
  • Hold (or be on track to receive) an offer of admission for a one-year, full-time, London-based MSc programme at LSHTM starting in 2026-27
