LSHTM First Generation Scholarship (Distance Learning)
Scholarship Name LSHTM First Generation Scholarship (Distance Learning)
Academic Year 2024
Scholarship amount Full Tuition Fees

LSHTM has been delivering online learning programmes since 1998 – as a mode of study, distance learning allows students to work flexibly, offering them the opportunity to study regardless of their circumstances.

Enabling the most talented students from all backgrounds to study at LSHTM is a key strategic priority. As outlined in the Strategy to Promote Access and Widening Participation, LSHTM wants to be a place where students from diverse backgrounds feel they belong, can thrive, and are valued for their unique contribution.

As part of this work, LSHTM is offering 2 scholarships to support students in the completion of an MSc degree by distance learning. These initiatives are designed to enable excellent students from groups who have been historically underrepresented in Higher Education at the postgraduate level to study, feel a sense of belonging and succeed at LSHTM.
