AUT Vice Chancellor's Doctoral Scholarships

Auckland University of Technology (AUT) offers Vice Chancellor's Doctoral Scholarships in order to attract highly achieving doctoral research students to AUT and to encourage and stimulate doctoral studies in areas that enhance the University's research capability.

The full scholarship normally consists of the following:

• An annual stipend of NZ $25,000 per annum.

Recipients of this scholarship will have an excellent academic record, strong academic references and have demonstrated the potential for high quality research.

• Preference will be given to new applicants to the doctoral programme at AUT, including those currently in provisional candidature.

• Applicants who have applied and been shortlisted but unsuccessful in a past round may apply again in one subsequent round only.

• Applicants who have applied unsuccessfully (not shortlisted) in past rounds may reapply only if there is a change to the information submitted.
