The Woolf Fisher Scholarship at Cambridge is a prestigious fully-funded scholarship available to PhD applicants from New Zealand in any subject excluding premium rate courses. It is tenable at any College within the University of Cambridge. This scholarship is offered in partnership with the Woolf Fisher Trust and provides comprehensive support for doctoral study. The scholarship covers international tuition fees, maintenance allowance, student visa costs, student immigration health surcharge, and annual economy airfare to and from the UK. Approximately four awards are available each year. The scholarship is awarded based on both academic merit and financial need, recognizing outstanding New Zealand students pursuing doctoral research.
