This collection of centrally funded 'UC Doctoral Scholarships', are grouped into three categories. These, and their co-tenability conditions, are:
- Core– Not co-tenable with any other Core scholarships.
- Prestige– Co-tenable with Core scholarships.
- Recognition– Co-tenable with Core scholarships and do not include additional monetary value.
The Prestige and Recognition scholarships are selected from all the applicants who were assessed for a Core scholarship in any given year. Because of this, Prestige and Recognition scholarships are awarded at the end of each academic year (no separate application is required). If an applicant is awarded a Prestige scholarship, its value is added to the value of the Core Scholarship, so for example, a stipend of $30,000 p.a. is increased to $35,000 p.a.
The scholarships listed within the 'UC Doctoral Scholarships' regulations are currently under review - it is intended that applications will open in September 2024, for a 2025 start. Further information will be available in late August.These scholarships are a mix of awards, which recognise success within certain categories (academic, women, Māori, Pacific students, etc.).
Please note:These scholarships are subject to funding availability and are reviewed each year. TheUC Scholarships Office administers most of these scholarships. Please search ourfor all scholarships currently available.
