Summer Research Scholarships

The University of Auckland Summer Research Scholarships offer students the opportunity to gain valuable research experience, work with leading researchers, and enhance their career prospects with a 10-week research project and a tax-free stipend of $6,750.

These scholarships are open to students who have completed at least two years of full-time undergraduate study by December 2024.

Additionally, accommodation options and summer activities are available through the University’s Summer Stays program, providing a convenient and enjoyable living arrangement during the research period.
