How to Apply for GSK Master Scholarships
There are two steps to the application procedure for GSK Master Scholarships. To be given consideration for the funding, candidates have to satisfy all eligibility conditions and finish both steps specified below by the scholarship closing dates of 23:59 (GMT) on Sunday 28 February 2021.
- Candidates have to finish both steps below by the scholarship closing date.
- Step 1: Put in an application for 2021-22 for a London-based MSc program of study, following guidelines under the ‘How to Apply’ tab on the applicable program of study page. Candidates should make sure that all required supplementary documents (with references) are submitted through the School’s Admissions Portal by the scholarship award closing date.
- Step 2: Submit an online scholarship award application, choosing this scholarship award option from the drop-down menu by the scholarship award closing date. A filled out Supplementary Questions Form for this scholarship award has to be submitted as part of this application. This is the only attachment needed in Step 2 (as candidates must have already submitted transcripts; references; a CV etc. with their application for admission).
- If you come across any technical issues whilst using the online scholarship award application form, in the first case, please try to clear your browser cache and make sure you are using the newest version of Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari. If this does not resolve your technical issue, please get in touch with the School’s IT Services team, giving your full name; the scholarship award that you are applying for; and the technical problem that you have come across. Please also add a screenshot of the problem where possible. servicedesk@lshtm.ac.uk
- Candidates who have prior to now submitted a filled 2020-21 London-based MSc application and/or have been granted an Offer of Admission should submit an application for the scholarship award by filling out the scholarship application (Step 2 above) and submitting this by the scholarship closing date.
- Each candidate should submit only one application for GSK Master Scholarships for Future Health Leaders for 2021-22 academic session. Candidates are therefore advised to peruse carefully their online application and attachment prior to submission, as the initial application submitted will be the one given consideration to and there will be no chance to submit the Supplementary Questions Form after submission.
Application Deadline
Application for GSK Master Scholarships for Future Health Leaders ends at midnight (GMT) on Sunday 28 February 28, 2021.
