Entry requirements

To be eligible for the preventing and minimising gambling-related harm masters scholarship for Maori, you'll need to be a New Zealand citizen or hold residency in New Zealand, and be of Maori descent. Most successful applicants are enrolled full-time, however, we do consider applications from students enrolled part-time. If you haven't yet enrolled for your proposed course of study, but are intending to do so, you can also apply for this scholarship (if you are awarded a scholarship, this will then be conditional on your successful enrolment). During the time of the scholarship, your only activity must be the conduct of research and the preparation of a thesis or dissertation. If you're undertaking courses involving completion of papers only, you won't be eligible for this scholarship.
