About the scholarship
The University of Otago is suspending quarterly rounds for allocation of Doctoral scholarships in September and November 2025. However, a guaranteed doctoral scholarship scheme for students with a domestic Honours or Masters degree remains in place for 2025. Students anticipating auto-award should have at least GPA 8 in the final year of Honours or across their Masters degree, with at least an A- grade on the research component. A special funding round will be held on 28 October for doctoral applicants critical to research programmes, teaching operations, or who are M膩ori or indigenous Pacific students falling below the auto-award threshold.
Entry requirements
Students must have at least GPA 8 in the final year of Honours or across their Masters degree, with at least an A- on the research component. Prospective applicants should discuss eligibility with their prospective supervisor.
