The application process requires submission of a completed scholarship application form, with the link provided either via email (for those with an offer) or in the Conditional Offer letter (for those still applying). In the application, candidates must submit a statement (maximum 700 words) demonstrating their LMIC nationality and domicile, outlining their academic goals and research interests related to the LSTM course, and explaining the impact their studies will have on their career, reducing health inequalities, and providing health leadership in their home country.
