How to apply for The University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship
You must apply for The University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship by using the Scholarships Office Application Form.
You need to submit the form to the Scholarships Office (see the application form for details) who will forward to the relevant faculty. Faculties will assess applications at regular intervals during the year and submit recommendations to the Scholarships Sub-Committee (see table below for faculty closing dates).
Application for Admission (AfA)
If you're a doctoral student applying for scholarships, you should also submit an Application for Admission (AfA). This online form enables you to be assessed for entry to your chosen doctoral programme.
If suitable supervisors are available and all of the University's entry requirements are met, you are then offered a place in the programme to study a topic of your choice. The process can take several weeks, so you should submit an AfA in your early stages of planning.
To find out more about applying for a doctorate at the University, and a link to the AfA form, see Applying for a doctorate.
