New Zealand: Massey University Masterate Scholarship 2010

Overview

Masterate Scholarships and Masterate Scholarships for Maori Students are offered for the purpose of encouraging postgraduate research at Massey University. The number of Masterate Scholarships awarded each year is discretionary and will be contingent on available funding. Up to two Masterate Scholarships for Maori Students will be awarded each year.

The Massey University Scholarships Committee reserves the right to refrain from making an award if applicants are not of sufficient merit.

Eligibility

The scholarships are open to persons who are enrolled or eligible to enrol full-time for the thesis research component of their Masters degree at Massey University. The research component must be 90 - 120 credits (this may comprise two research papers studied in consecutive semesters that constitute a single project overall). A full-time candidate will be expected to work 40 - 50 hours per week on their Masterate qualification. Part-time applicants are not eligible. Consideration will normally only be given to students with a GPA of 6.5 or better (on a 9 point scale), or a B+ average or better in graduate level papers.

Applicants holding academic qualifications from all countries other than New Zealand, Australia, Germany, or the United States of America must arrange a course by course evaluation by:

(Note: A qualifications assessment report from New Zealand Qualifications Authority is not a substitute for the course by course evaluation).

Overseas Study

Applicants intending to pursue part of the approved programme of research at a university or other approved institution overseas are required to inform the Scholarships Committee in writing of the intended overseas study period, with a statement of support for this plan by their supervisor. Payments to applicants who proceed overseas will be made in New Zealand currency into a New Zealand bank account.
