School of Public Health Master's Scholarships

General eligibility

These awards are open to all students who make an application to the School of Public Health by the deadline for admission to study for a Master's programme, starting in October 2026.

Please note that these awards can only be given to students who are studying a programme run by the School of Public Health. If you are hoping to study a Master's programme run by another Faculty or Department, please see a list of other scholarship programmes which you may be eligible for.

It is not essential for applicants to have already received an offer of a place on a programme, but the initial programme application must be made before applying for a scholarship. In order to be awarded the scholarship, an offer must have been made to an applicant.

Residence eligibility

Applications are accepted from talented candidates from across the world for the School of Public Health Scholarships which will cover home tuition fees only. Please see the Fee assessment guidance notes [pdf] if you are unsure of your ordinary resident status.

Need based assessment

We recognise that being able to afford to undertake a Masters degree is a considerable financial commitment and our scholarships hope to offer financial support for those who may not be able to afford the tuition fees.

The application form will ask applicants to outline why they are in 'need' of the scholarship and outline the following:

• Financial income and family situation - please provide some information about your family's financial income and cirumstances
• Interest and motivation - please explain your interest in your chosen subject and motivation in coming to Imperial College London to study on your chosen course
• Achievements and awards - If you have any particular achievements or awards please provide information about them
• Benefits of scholarship - please explain how this scholarship would benefit you

Academic eligibility

Candidates will need to have applied for their programme of choice and be assessed for entry, in line with entry requirements. As part of the scholarship review process, programme teams will review your application to the programme and consider:

• Academic potential - i.e. demonstrable work/voluntary experience within chosen field and an articulation of mature contribution/experience gained during this experience
• A very strong personal statement outlining why you have chosen your programme, highlighting your skills, referring to your overall profile, including achievements to date, career aspirations, research experience, any publications and any experience already gained
• Research experience and publications (if any)
• Strong and supportive references to indicate academic ability or relevant employment experience related to your programme
