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 Excellence Scholarships will support applications to Master’s programmes delivered at our Liverpool campus for students from the most disadvantaged countries. They will reduce the international fee from £23,000 to £12,500 for our students from low-to-middle income countries (LMIC) (see the detailed terms and conditions below for further details of eligibility).
125th Anniversary Excellence Scholarships - OECD LMIC
To celebrate our anniversary year, we are 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.
