University of Auckland DoctoralScholarship
All Information
The University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship supports high-achieving candidates undertaking doctoral research in an approved programme. It provides a living stipend and, under the relevant eligibility rules, support for tuition fees and compulsory health insurance charges. Applicants are considered for the scholarship as part of the doctoral admission process, rather than through a separate scholarship form. The programme covers several doctoral qualifications, including the PhD and selected professional doctorates. Selection is competitive and depends on academic performance, research suitability, and the assessment of the relevant faculty or university committee. International students should check the conditions governing tuition-fee support before treating the award as fully funded.
