Aim and Benefits of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Masters Scholarship

The MSc SRHPP Scholarship fund aims to contribute to strengthening sexual and reproductive health in sub-Saharan Africa.

Each scholarship will cover:

• Full tuition fees at the LSHTM low- and middle-income country fee rate (GBP 17,850.00); and
• A one-time allowance of GBP 1,000.00 for IT equipment and/or internet costs and/or other learning costs. The allowance is primarily intended to be a contribution to IT costs so that students have regular access to a computer and a reliable internet service to ensure effective online learning. Applicants are expected to check that they can meet the IT requirements and information for this programme of study before submitting an application. Where no IT costs or support are required, a student may use this allowance for other learning costs.
