125th Anniversary Scholarships
As the oldest institution in the world researching and educating in the field of global health and humanitarian studies, LSTM works in partnership to ensure that our staff and students make a positive impact in the world.
In line with our mission and values, and to celebrate our 125th anniversary, we are offering some unique scholarship opportunities.
About the Scholarships
The 125th Anniversary Scholarships will support applications to Master’s programmes delivered at our Liverpool campus through a range of scholarships for students from the UK and low-to-middle income countries (LMIC).
Dean's Scholarships for Students from the UK
To support students from underrepresented areas in higher education, specifically at postgraduate level, we are offering new scholarships through our Dean’s Anniversary Scholarship scheme.
These scholarships are available to UK students applying to study at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine on one of our full-time on-campus Master’sprogrammes from September 2024. The scholarships are available competitively, and application forms will be sent to all eligible applicants.
About the Scholarships
Successful students will be awarded an £8,000 scholarship. £5,000 of this can be used towards payment of the standard home student course fees and the remaining £3,000 can be used towards living expenses and will be paid in three instalments across the one-year Master’sprogramme.

Excellence Scholarships for Students from OECD LMIC
We are also offering a number of unique scholarships aimed at supporting access to our world-leading postgraduate education for applicants who are resident in countries on the OECD LMIC list. The scholarships will reduce the standard international student fee for 2024 entry on our Liverpool-based Master’s programmes, from £23,000 to £12,500 for those who are eligible.
This is not a competitive scholarship and applicants meeting the criteria will be offered the reduced fee up to the maximum number of places available for each programme. Places are limited on some programmes.
Entry criteria
- LMIC resident and LMIC national
- Meets the admissions criteria for their chosen in-person taught Master’s based at our Liverpool campus.

- Existing applicants need to accept their offer as soon as possible.
- Following confirmation, that you accept the offer of a place at LSTM we will respond listing the documents that you are required to submit to finalise your application and visa. These documents must be uploaded to the LSTM portal.
- Your non-refundable deposit of £1,250 must then be paid.
- When you log into your MyLSTM account and accept your offer your international fee of £23,000 will automatically be discounted to £12,500.
