Eligible candidates who have begun their PhD programme in Business School may be considered for this Scholarship.

Matters that may be considered in relation to academic merit include, but are not limited to, academic record, standing of awarding institution, academic references, CV, research and publication record. Where a completed 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 7.00 or above (6.50 for Maori or Pacific candidates) in that programme to be eligible for scholarship consideration (see Note III). Matters that may be considered in relation to relevant professional experience include, but are not limited to, practical business experience and statements from the candidate and supervisor addressing how the proposed research will contribute to one or more of the Strategic Research Themes of the Business School and the Icehouse.
