About the scholarshipNew ZealandUniversity of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship 2027 (NZ$35,468 a Year)
A funded PhD at New Zealand's top-ranked university: fees covered and a tax-free stipend of NZ$35,468 a year for up to 42 months. The next round closes on 1 February 2027. The University of Auckland awards this scholarship to domestic doctoral students and to international students who qualify for domestic fees, meaning they live in New Zealand throughout the programme (research abroad is capped at 12 months in total). It covers compulsory tuition and the Student Services Fee, pays a stipend of NZ$35,468 a year (2026 rate, adjusted for inflation) and, for international students, the compulsory health insurance charge, for up to 42 months. There is no separate form: you ask to be considered in your doctoral admission application. There are four rounds a year, with the next closing dates on 1 February, 1 May and 1 August 2027, and offers about two months later. International students in professional doctorates (DMedSc, DClinPsy, DocFA, EdD, DHSc) and anyone who already holds a doctorate are not eligible. Find a supervisor first and submit your admission application before the round closes.
