The intention of the scholarships is to encourage and support academically excellent domestic and international students who are paying domestic fees, to undertake doctoral study at the University of Auckland.

The Scholarships shall be available to students enrolled full-time at the University of Auckland who have paid the fees or have arranged to pay the fees, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Clinical Psychology or the research component of another approved doctorate.

The maximum combined period of scholarship tenure for students who a) transfer from one university-funded doctoral scholarship to another, or b) terminate one doctoral degree and commence another, or c) have completed one doctoral degree and return to commence a second, shall be a total of up to 36 months with a possible extension of up to six further months, provided Regulations 7 and 8 are met. Where a Masters student is approved to upgrade their partially completed degree to doctoral study and is subsequently awarded a University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship, the tenure of the Scholarship will be up to 36 months from the start date of a one-year Masters degree, or from the completion of the coursework component for a two-year Masters degree.
