About the scholarship
A strategic review of the University of Otago Doctoral Scholarship Scheme is currently underway with the goal of realigning scholarship policy with changing needs, strengthening institutional research capacity, and better supporting a diverse, high-achieving doctoral community for the future. Doctoral scholarships at the University of Otago are tenable for a period of three years with fulltime enrolment, and each award therefore represents a substantial financial commitment by the University.
Entry requirements
Quarterly allocation rounds will apply to all scholarship applicants. The rounds will include Divisional recommendations, guided by strategic priorities and based on: the applicant's research aptitude and experience; the proposed project and its innovation, public benefit, and collaboration potential (internal, external and international); and the ability for the project to be adequately supported and resourced, including the suitability and track record of the supervisory team. Māori and Pacific Doctoral scholarships will continue to be available with settings to be confirmed.
