In making the recommendation, the Vice-Chancellor (or nominee) considers: a. academic achievement and b. ability to pursue research.
If, in any year that the scholarship is available, there is no candidate of sufficient merit, the scholarship is readvertised as soon as practicable and applications are accepted from women who: a. have graduated with a degree from any New Zealand university or b. are completing a programme for a degree that would qualify them, in the year of the original closing date for that application round, to graduate from a New Zealand university.
If, after the scholarship has been readvertised, there is still no candidate of sufficient merit, no award is made and the scholarship is made available in the following November.
