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)

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