University of Otago International Master's Research Scholarship

Eligibility Criteria

The University of Otago International Research Master's Scholarship provides funding to support international Master's students studying at the University of Otago.

Applicants must be:

• obtaining their first Master's qualification
• international students
• undertaking a thesis-based Master's

Selection is based predominantly on academic merit and the applicant’s potential for research.

Please note this Scholarship will only provide support for the thesis component of a Master's Research degree for up to 1 year full-time enrolment. It also only partially covers the cost of your tuition fees.

How to apply?

Applications are made online through the eVision portal after applying for admission to a programme. The application form will be available through an alert at one of the following times:

• when applying for admission (if the degree is by thesis only, or if the thesis will begin straight away) – you will receive an alert in your eVision portal after applying for admission to your programme, inviting you to apply for a scholarship; or,
• just before the thesis component is about to begin (usually at the start of the second year for a master’s degree by papers and thesis) – you will receive an alert in your eVision portal after enrolling in your thesis paper.

Applicants can apply anytime.
