Information
Established in 2023 by the University of Otago through generous support from Graduate Women Otago, this award commemorates the organisation’s 2021 centenary, and is intended to support one female Pacific master’s student each year whose financial or personal circumstances make it difficult to continue studying. A parallel award is also offered each year on comparable terms to a female Māori student engaged in master’s level study in any discipline.
Applicants must:
- be a New Zealand citizen or New Zealand Residence Class Visa Holder.
- identify as female
- meet the University’s ancestry verification requirements for Pacific
- be enrolled or plan to enrol in a master's degree programme (coursework or thesis) in any discipline
- face financial or personal circumstances that may disrupt or interfere with their studies
The following factors shall be considered in selecting the scholarship:
- the applicant’s financial means and personal circumstances, and the extent to which these factors may affect their ability to pursue their studies
- whether the applicant will receive financial assistance from other awards or scholarships
- recommendations and advice from the Pacific Islands Centre and other University staff
- the applicant’s academic ability or potential
