About the scholarship
Our scholarship program supports research shaping Aotearoa's future by enhancing resource management and mātauranga Māori.
Our scholarships are designed to:
- encourage graduate students from a range of disciplines (law, planning, engineering, geography, science, landscape architecture, urban planning and resource management) to focus their research theses or dissertations on topics related to the application of resource management in New Zealand;
- recognise and encourage the advancement of research that has the potential to shape Aotearoa’s future by contributing to mātauranga Māori in the environmental space.
RMLA scholarships are also intended to promote the purposes of the RMLA, and to produce material for RMLA publications.
Awards may be made subject to acceptance into restricted courses. Any scholarship will be tenable for one year only. Commencement may be delayed to coincide with an overseas University academic year. Tenure will be for a year in which thesis or dissertation work is the major academic activity.
The RMLA may choose to pay the scholarship to the recipient in instalments.
Co-Tenure: The Scholarship may be held concurrently with other bursaries, awards, or scholarships, provided that the rules of the other award permit this.
