About the scholarship
Established in 2017 by the Trustees of the Maurice and Phyllis Paykel Trust, to replace the Maurice and Phyllis Paykel Research Awards that supported medical students during their first year for BMedSc(Hons), MMedSc and MBChB/PhD since 1993. The new use of the Phyllis Paykel Memorial Scholarship continues the support for BMedSc (Hons) students and the Research Awards were discontinued in 2017. These new awards are to be offered for the support of a research year for non-MBChB students.
