For students of the University of Auckland it is not necessary to supply an academic transcript in support of the application.
Prospective applicants should note that these scholarships are limited in availability and that only those people with first class academic records are likely to attain an award.
International Student scholarships
For students from overseas, funding for graduate programmes is limited. Prospective applicants are directed to the following possible sources of financial assistance.
The University of Auckland International Doctoral Scholarship
These awards are available to a limited number of overseas students from outside New Zealand and Australia, based on academic merit. Information on the availability of scholarships for international students can be found on the University of Auckland International students' scholarship page.
New Zealand Official Development Assistance Postgraduate Scholarships
These scholarships provide funds in support of graduate studies in New Zealand for students from some developing countries. These scholarships provide assistance with fees, living expenses and travel. Information on the availability of scholarships for international students can be found on the University of Auckland International students' scholarship page.
Fulbright Scholarships
Students from the United States can apply for grants from the Fulbright Foundation to support a period of study at graduate level in New Zealand. The awards are normally for a period of one year and cover travel expenses, tuition fees, and provide a living allowance. Because the scholarships usually have a one year tenure, they do not cover the term of a Masters degree at the University of Auckland but the Postgraduate Diploma of Science is an attractive option.
Information can be obtained from the Fulbright Programme Adviser at most universities in the United States, from the Fulbright Program website, or by contacting:
The Institute of International Education
809 United Nations Plaza
New York, NY 10017-3580
The closing date is usually mid-October for awards, to be taken up no earlier than June of the following year.
