Research Institute Scholarships on offer at Waikato University
The University of Waikato is offering 12 highly prestigious Research Institute Scholarships for masters and doctoral
students.
Each of the Research Institutes at the University are offering a doctoral scholarship worth up to $85,000 for three
years. This includes tuition fees and scholarship instalments over the tenure.
They are also offering a masters scholarship worth $12,000, which includes a fees component of $3,500.
The Institutes offering the scholarships are the Environmental Research Institute (ERI), the Institute for Business
Research (IBR), the Institute of Professional Learning (IPL), the National Institute of Demographic and Economic
Analysis (NIDEA), Te Kotahi Research Institute (TKRI), and the Wilf Malcolm Institute of Educational Research (WMIER).
Professor Kay Weaver, the University of Waikato’s Pro Vice-Chancellor (Postgraduate Research), says the scholarships
will provide applicants with the opportunity to propose and work on a wide range of high level projects with some of the
University’s highest calibre academics and research supervisors.
“Our Research Institutes house some of our top international researchers who have attracted a significant amount of
research funding for their projects. We are looking for the brightest and best students to come and work alongside
them,” she says.
“It’s an ideal opportunity for students to learn from, and work with, world-changing researchers who are leading the way
with new ideas. It is also an opportunity for students to test and showcase their own ground breaking research ideas in
the supportive and innovative Research Institute
environment.”
The Research Institutes undertake world-class research in environmental science, demography and economic analysis,
business and leadership, professional learning and development, education, and Māori and indigenous development.
