About the scholarship
The funds for this scholarship are provided by the income from a bequest made in 1951 by Isabel Evelyn Spencer Watson to the University of New Zealand. The scholarship is a memorial to her nephew, Clement Gordon Watson.
The general purpose of the scholarship is to enable New Zealanders to study international relationships or social and economic conditions at a university overseas. Candidates will be planning to study at Masters or PhD level.
Eligibility Applicants must: • have graduated with or be graduating with an Honours or Masters degree in arts, science, commerce, law or divinity from a New Zealand university. • be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents. The intent of this scholarship is that applicants will not yet have studied abroad and will be applying for enrolment in a research Masters degree or a PhD at an overseas university in Europe, Asia or the USA. Please note that to be eligible a planned Masters degree must have a substantial research component, i.e. at least half.
