Claude McCarthy Fellowship

The Claude McCarthy Fellowship is awarded to enable New Zealand university graduates to undertake original work or research in literature, science or medicine. The fellowship was established through a bequest from Claude McCarthy's estate and is managed by Public Trust. The fellowship specifically supports travel for doctoral students, enabling graduates of a New Zealand university who are registered and enrolled for a doctoral degree at a New Zealand university to travel overseas for short periods to present research work at conferences and/or conduct research leading towards their New Zealand doctoral degree. Fellows must retain their New Zealand doctoral registration during the tenure of their award.
