Scholarships

Summer Research Scholarships
These scholarships support undergraduate students for a ten-week period over the summer break while they complete a small research project about heart health under the supervision of our Pūtahi Manawa researchers. They are available to Māori, Pacific and women students. 

The students get an idea of what it’s like to be a researcher, which may help them decide whether they want to pursue a research career or include research as part of their future work. As well as funding these scholarships through our three heart centres – Manaaki Manawa (University of Auckland), Christchurch Heart Institute and Heart Otago (University of Otago) we are supporting a number of Pūhoro STEMM Summerships for rangatahi/tupulaga talavou.

PhD Scholarships
We are also funding scholarships for postgraduate students to study for a PhD on each of our Integrated Research Modules.
