About This Opportunity

The Cancer Society of New Zealand PhD Scholarship provides funding for students to undertake advanced research in the field of cancer, leading to a Doctorate in Philosophy from a New Zealand University or Wānanga. The scholarship is part of the Cancer Society's National Grant Round, which aims to fund high-quality research across the cancer continuum, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. The scholarship supports doctoral students for up to 36 months with an annual stipend and additional funding for university fees, research expenses, travel, and thesis publication. Priority is given to PhD scholarship applications in areas where grant opportunities are limited. Successful applicants must be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents eligible for PhD registration at a New Zealand University or Wānanga.
