The University of Otago offers a range of doctoral scholarships. These can be applied for at any time of the year and you will be invited to do so when you have submitted an application for admission to the PhD programme.
Applications are assessed on a quarterly basis, usually around March, June, September, and November of each year.
If you are a straight A student (GPA of 8 — 'A' grade) or higher, who has completed an honours or master's degree with an appropriate research component from a New Zealand university, you are likely to be guaranteed a University of Otago Doctoral Scholarship.
