University of Auckland

Auckland is New Zealand's largest university, and the funding rules that matter here are national. The first is that international doctoral students pay domestic fees at New Zealand universities, so a PhD at Auckland is already more affordable than the sticker price suggests, and most doctoral funding is then about the stipend on top. The second is that the government's own scholarship programmes for international students are small, which pushes the weight onto university awards, and that is exactly what the records below are.

For doctoral candidates, Auckland runs international studentships and faculty scholarships, and these are the awards most worth chasing because fee parity plus a stipend is close to a fully funded position. For taught and undergraduate students the university offers a family of international student excellence awards, some automatic from admission and some applied for, plus faculty and study-abroad prizes.

Because the catalogue below mixes all of these, the study level and funding type on each card do the sorting for you. New Zealand rounds tend to open about a year ahead of study, so if you are planning the next intake, check the deadline on the card you want and confirm it on Auckland's scholarships page, which is where each official link lands.
