Faculty of Arts Doctoral Scholarship

Scholarship applications will usually open around six weeks before the closing date. Please read the regulations carefully to be sure you are eligible before you apply.

Up to $10,000

The Scholarship may be awarded to new students applying for admission to a PhD in the Faculty of Arts who meet all the requirements of these regulations. Eligible candidates who have begun their PhD programme in the Faculty of Arts and who are within 12 months of their registration date may be considered for this Scholarship. The Scholarship is tenable by domestic and international students. The basis of selection will be academic merit, the quality and nature of the candidate’s Statement of Research Intent, CV, references and alignment with the Faculty’s strategic plan. Where a qualifying programme with a grade point average (GPA) or grade point equivalent (GPE) is the basis for entry to the PhD, a candidate must have a GPA/GPE of at least 7.00 (6.50 for Maori or Pacific candidates) in that programme to be eligible for scholarship consideration. Where a qualifying programme is entirely pass/fail, the University may generate a GPA only where the programme consists entirely of a thesis (see Note III).
