About the scholarship

The University of Waikato Taught Postgraduate Scholarship is designed to support part- and full-time students studying at postgraduate level1 at the University of Waikato. Applicants will primarily be enrolling in coursework, rather than research papers. Preference will be given to students on a pathway to research qualifications at the University of Waikato. Awards will be determined on academic merit.

Entry requirements

  2. Scholarships are awarded on academic merit, with a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of A– expected. Normally, GPA calculations will be based on the equivalent of the applicant’s last two years of full-time study.
  3. Past recipients may apply for subsequent Taught Postgraduate Scholarships if they continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
  4. The Scholarship is open to New Zealand citizens, permanent residents, and international students. 4.1. International students must have completed at least 120 points at any New Zealand University.
