Morgan Phoa Scholarships

Through the generosity of Dr Wesley Phoa and Margaret Morgan, two New Foundations PhD Scholarships have been established at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Victoria University of Wellington. These scholarships will enable two students, co-supervised by Dr Thomas Forster and Professor Noam Greenberg, to make new discoveries, advance mathematical understanding, and expand knowledge of Quine's New Foundations, capitalising upon recent breakthroughs in the field that the donors helped make possible. The scholarship covers full fees annually for three years, with the remainder of the annual funding being paid as stipend in equal monthly instalments directly to the recipient. The total value is $47,500 NZD per annum for 3 years. Applicants must be highly motivated individuals with excellent academic records who are familiar with the basics of mathematical logic, particularly set theory.
