About This Opportunity

Massey University Doctoral Scholarships are awarded to high achieving students to provide financial support for their doctoral study. The scholarship provides $90,000 plus fees over three years' duration. The award focuses on the academic excellence of the student, without limiting the selection to GPA, while ensuring decisions are made in line with the University, College, and School research strategies. The scholarship acknowledges the unique contribution that Māori and Pacific students make to academic research, and Massey is committed to promoting equity of access to learning, teaching, and research. Recipients are expected to enrol in their doctoral study no later than 1 March of the year following selection. The scholarship is available to full-time and part-time candidates enrolled in the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych) or Doctor of Social Work (DSW).
