UC Connect Doctoral Scholarship Regulations

The next 'UC Doctoral Scholarship' application round will open in August and close in October 2025 for those starting their studies in 2026.

This collection of centrally-funded 'UC Doctoral Scholarships', are grouped into three categories and can be applied for on one application:

  • Core听
  • Prestige听
  • Recognition - do not include additional monetary value.

These scholarships are a mix of awards, which recognise success within certain categories (academic, women, M膩ori, Pacific students, etc.).听

The Prestige and Recognition scholarships are selected from all the applicants who applied 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 $32,000 p.a. is increased to $37,000 p.a.

Please note:听These scholarships are subject to funding availability and are reviewed each year. Please search our听听for all scholarships currently available.

Recognition 'UC Doctoral Scholarship'


"The UC Doctoral Scholarship has been instrumental in my journey as a PhD student in New Zealand, providing both financial support and academic opportunities that have significantly enriched my research experience.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities this scholarship has provided, as it has not only supported my academic growth but also reinforced my passion for research without the added stress of financial concerns. This support has been a crucial stepping stone in my journey toward making meaningful contributions to both scientific knowledge and clinical applications."
