About This Opportunity

The Kate Edger Foundation - First Year Doctoral Award was established in 2015 and is funded by the Kate Edger Foundation. The main purpose of the Award is to assist women graduates currently enrolled in their first year of full-time study at the University of Auckland towards a PhD or named Doctorate. The Award provides up to $11,000 each to support women students enrolled in the first year of a PhD or named Doctorate. Up to five awards are offered annually. The Award is intended for students studying full-time towards a qualification; however, the Trustees recognise that health conditions or impairments can limit a person's ability to study full-time and have extended the Award in 2023 to include part-time study on a case-by-case basis. The award provides assistance with study costs for one year. Applications typically open around six weeks before the closing date in April, with applications opening on 3 March 2026 and closing on 14 April 2026 for the next cycle. The Award has a tenure of one year and aims to support women in their first year of doctoral study at the University of Auckland.
