Graduate Women Wellington - Masters by Thesis Scholarship

This scholarship was established in 1988 by Graduate Women Wellington and is offered to encourage postgraduate study by women at masters by thesis level at Te Herenga Waka–Victoria University of Wellington. The scholarship provides financial support to female students who are intending to enrol in a Master's degree by thesis. The selection process takes into account not only the academic merit of the applicants but also their financial needs, with regard to dependents. Three scholarships are awarded annually, each valued at $5,000 NZD, with a tenure of one year. Recipients are expected to act as ambassadors for Victoria University of Wellington and present their research at a Graduate Women Wellington branch meeting.
