Two scholarships are available to Brain Health Research Centre Postgraduate students.
These scholarships are of invaluable assistance in supporting the excellent research that our Postgraduate students are undertaking.

Roche logoRoche Hanns Möhler Doctoral Scholarship

An award of NZD$10,000 to a Brain Health Research Centre PhD student who is near the completion of their thesis. Candidates must be able to demonstrate a good record of aptitude throughout their PhD, and how their work would benefit from an extension at the end of their existing scholarship.

A condition of the scholarship is that the successful candidate must be able to present their research to Roche in Auckland (travel funded by Roche) at the completion of their thesis.

Helen Rosa Thacker Scholarship in Neurological Research

An award of NZD$5,000 to recognise, reward and inspire a good male student born in New Zealand. Awarded to a PhD in neurological research for the period of one year. The award can be held alongside existing scholarships.


Māori Summer Studentship

This scholarship provides support of up to NZD$5,000 (pro rata) for a Māori student interested in gaining research experience over the summer break in one of the research groups associated with the Brain Health Research Centre.


For any queries regarding either of these scholarships, please contact Associate Professor Stephanie Hughes at stephanie.hughes@otago.ac.nz or on +64 3 479 3761.
