Wellington Graduate Award

Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic achievement.

Applicants are expected to have achieved a minimum A grade average (GPA 8.0) at 300-level or above. However, the number of awards offered are based on the funds available which will determine the actual minimum GPA requirement in any one year.

The Wellington Graduate Award encourages undergraduate students to proceed to graduate study and to research degrees. The University offers Wellington Graduate Awards to international students intending to embark upon an Honours degree or a Master's degree Part 1.

Applicants must be fully enrolled at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington in a full-year programme by the start of Trimester 1 in the following year of application, in at least 90 points of coursework in either:

• a postgraduate Honours degree or
• a Master's degree taken via coursework with at least 90 points at 400 or 500 level and any thesis/research component in that year being less than 90 points or
• a postgraduate diploma that is recognised as Part 1 of a two year Master's degree, under the same conditions as for that Master's degree.

These scholarships are not available for post experience or vocational Master's degree, such as the MBA, MIM or MIS, and are not available to Honours students undertaking or intending to undertake an undergraduate programme such as LLB (Hons) or BE (Hons).

All offers of the scholarship will be conditional upon the recipient being enrolled in a full-year programme by the start of Trimester 1 in the following year in at least 90 points of coursework in either a postgraduate Honours degree or a Master's degree taken via coursework with at least 90 points at 400 or 500 level and any thesis/research component taken in that year being less than 90 points or a postgraduate diploma that is recognised as Part 1 of a two year Master's degree, under the same conditions as for that Master's degree.
