The Awards were established in 2007 and are funded by The University of Auckland.

The main purpose of the Awards is to assist students entering the University who have the potential to succeed at University and for whom the financial assistance would make a significant contribution to their financial needs.

• The Awards will be offered to students who are New Zealand citizens or permanent residents of over two years standing, intending to enrol in a full-time undergraduate degree programme at The University of Auckland.
• The basis of selection will be academic merit, motivation to succeed at University and financial need.

How do students apply?
Applications by way of a form close with the Scholarships Office on 30 November of the year preceding the award. If the closing date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, applications will be accepted up to 5pm on the next working day.

What conditions are attached to acceptance of this award?
An Award may not be held concurrently with a University of Auckland Scholarship, a University of Auckland Chancellor’s Award for Top Maori and Pacific Scholars or a University of Auckland Alumni Scholarship. However, it may be held with any other award or grant as long as a) the terms of that award or grant permit and b) the University of Auckland Council is informed and approves. As a condition of tenure of the Award, awardees will be required to undertake a full-time degree programme of study at The University of Auckland and maintain a grade point average of 3.00 (C+) in each year of study. The University of Auckland Council has the power to terminate or suspend an Award if it receives an unsatisfactory report on the progress of an awardee from the Director/Head of the Department in which the recipient is enrolled.

• The Award’s emolument will be paid in two instalments, one in the first, and one in the second semester.
