When are they?
We run telephone campaigns at different times of year, with current students and recent graduates contacting our global network of alumni by phone, usually in the evenings and weekends.
If you receive a call from +44 (0) 20 3039 3928, please consider making a gift to support access to education and our vital work.
For the last few years, students and recent graduates have spoken to alumni around the world to raise funds for the Scholarship Fund and vital projects. We’re delighted that hundreds of alumni have contributed, supporting urgent appeals such as our COVID 19 and Ugandan response funds.
The ongoing generosity of our alumni and friends enables LSHTM to provide life-changing opportunities for students, influence national and international practices and lead high-impact research.
What are the campaigns for?
Telephone campaigns are a unique chance for alumni to speak to current students and recent graduates to find out more about LSHTM today. They are also a rare opportunity for callers to find out more about the career paths of alumni, as well as gaining valuable skills and experience to support their future careers.
Crucially, our telephone campaigns raise vital funds for the LSHTM Scholarship Fund, helping us stay at the forefront of global health research.
If you would like to support LSHTM, you can make your gift online.
"I really enjoy receiving calls from students, especially the mentoring aspect. When I was a student at LSHTM, had I realised the wonder of these conversations, and how insightful, mind-opening, and inspirational they were, I would have wanted to work as a student caller."
Gemma Snell, MSc Demography & Health, 2013
LSHTM Scholarship Fund
LSHTM is training the next generation of innovators to revolutionise global health and health equity. As education gets more expensive, scholarships are the only way to ensure that the most exceptional students can study with us regardless of their background.
We receive thousands of applications every year, with funding only available to support a small number. Without support, many brilliant students, like year's LSHTM Fund Scholar Sebastian Ochoa Guzman, and many others from across the globe simply cannot study at LSHTM.
“Receiving this scholarship has made me think about the power that our small actions can have to instigate big changes in other people's lives. I have nothing other than words of gratitude to all the people who have contributed and continue to contribute to this scholarship, and I encourage them to please keep doing so.”
Sebastian Ochoa Guzman, MSc Public Health, 2024
