Welcome
The Africa London Nagasaki (ALN) fund is a scholarship fund set up to support African scientists to undertake a Master’s degree in a subject relevant to the control of infectious disease in Africa.
The awards will support a candidate to undertake an MSc at either the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Nagasaki University, Japan or at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, UK. Up to four awards will be made each year for the period 2010 to 2014. Successful applicants will receive a maximum of US$50,000 each to cover tuition fees, travel and living expenses.
An award will only be made on condition that the candidate meets the criteria set for entry on the course for which they have applied.

“The selection committee had a very difficult task as there were many excellent applicants who would have benefitted from being able to take one of the MSc courses at the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Nagasaki, or the London-based or Distance Learning courses of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. There is clearly a large unmet need for MSc training and we are delighted to be able to support five very worthy candidates.“
