About the scholarship
The Robinson Dorsey Postgraduate Scholarship was created to support postgraduate students who are returning to university study after a break, and/or who through their personal circumstances, are not eligible for usual scholarships. Originally available to students undertaking postgraduate study in Physiology or Human Nutrition, the award was amended in 2023 to extend eligibility to postgraduate students involved in cancer research.
Entry requirements
Applicants must be a New Zealand Citizen or New Zealand Residence Class Visa Holder, enrolled in (or intending to enrol in) a postgraduate diploma, honours degree, Master of Science or PhD degree in Physiology or Human Nutrition, or engaged in (or intending to undertake) cancer related research as part of any postgraduate programme at the University of Otago, and returning to university study after a break, and/or who through their personal circumstances are not eligible for usual scholarships.
