About the scholarship

Summer scholarships in health research related to arthritis are available to promising undergraduate and honours students wishing to be involved in a research project over the summer vacation (usually ten weeks).

The purpose of Arthritis New Zealand summer scholarships is to engage and support students in research in the area of arthritis. Summer scholarships are granted for small research projects allowing students to develop valuable research skills. It is the student's and the supervisor's joint responsibility to ensure that the project is completed on time.

If ethics approval is required for the summer scholarship, it is the supervisor's responsibility to ensure that this is obtained at the time an application is submitted for consideration. Otherwise, students are advised to select a project that does not require ethics approval.

Research projects should be related to arthritis with the precise topic to be determined by the applicant and their supervisor.
