Auckland Law School Postgraduate Award

About the scholarship

The Auckland Law School Postgraduate Award is a merit-based scholarship offered by the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Law to support academically outstanding students pursuing postgraduate legal studies. Specifically designed for those enrolling in Master’s programmes such as Master of Intellectual Property, Master of Laws (LLM), Master of Legal Studies, or Master of Taxation Studies, the award aims to recognize high achievement and encourage further academic success at one of New Zealand’s leading universities. Both domestic and international students are eligible to compete for this award.

Each year, up to two awards are made one for each semester intake with each recipient receiving up to NZD $10,000 to assist with study expenses. The selection is based on academic merit, the applicant’s career aspirations, and their potential as reflected in a personal statement. These awards help lessen the financial burden of postgraduate law education and support students as they advance professionally.
