Sir Robert Jones Scholarship in History

We recommend you check the form early in case a reference or endorsement is required to support your application, and to familiarise yourself with the form. All sections (including request sections) must be completed by the closing date, which is midnight on the specified date (unless stated otherwise). We recommend you do not have two different scholarship applications open within the same browser.

Outcomes are determined by a selection committee and are usually notified around six weeks after the closing date.

Up to $5,000 pa

The Scholarship may be awarded to students enrolled full-time in a Bachelor of Arts (BA) majoring in History, who have completed at least two Stage One History courses. Students enrolled in a conjoint degree or a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) are not eligible to apply for or hold this Scholarship. The basis of selection will be academic merit and demonstrated financial need. In determining academic merit, the Selection Committee will use the applicant’s grade point average (GPA) in their best two Stage One History courses and the quality and historical potential, evident in the applicant’s coursework in those courses, as judged by the Selection Committee. Successful applicants will have a minimum GPA of 6.00 (see Notes I to II). The Scholarship is tenable by students who are citizens or permanent residents of New Zealand.
