HOW TO APPLY

UC Doctoral Scholarship applications for students commencing their doctoral studies between 1 February and 1 July 2025 closed 25 October 2024 and offers will be sent to successful candidates in early December 2024.听Details of any future application rounds will be announced by December 2024.

This collection of centrally funded 'UC Doctoral Scholarships', are grouped into three categories. These, and their co-tenability conditions, are:

  • Core听鈥 Not co-tenable with any other Core scholarships.
  • Prestige听鈥 Co-tenable with Core scholarships.
  • Recognition听鈥 Co-tenable with Core scholarships and do not include additional monetary value.

These scholarships are a mix of awards, which recognise success within certain categories (academic, women, M膩ori, Pacific students, etc.).听

The Prestige and Recognition scholarships are selected from all the applicants who were assessed for a Core scholarship in any given year. Because of this, Prestige and Recognition scholarships are awarded at the end of each academic year (no separate application is required). If an applicant is awarded a Prestige scholarship, its value is added to the value of the Core Scholarship, so for example, a stipend of $32,000 p.a. is increased to $37,000 p.a.

Applications for those with a 2025 start (between 1 February and 1 July 2025) closed on 25 October 2024. Details of any subsequent rounds will be announced by late December 2024.听
