Kate Edger Foundation - Masters Degree Award

The Kate Edger Foundation Masters Degree Award was established in 1996 and is funded by the Kate Edger Foundation. The main purpose of the Award is to assist women graduates to carry out study for a masters degree at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland. 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. Up to eight awards of $8,000 each are offered annually to support women enrolling in masters degree programs. The award provides assistance with study costs and has a tenure of one year.
