About the scholarship
The purpose of the GWNZ Fellowships are to provide recognition and financial assistance to outstanding female degree graduates who undertake doctoral study.During the 1929 Dominion Conference of NZFUW a discussion was held on the possibility of founding a ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Fellowship. The Fund was inaugurated at the NZFUW Conference in January 1932. While it’s primary purpose was to foster higher education for women, NZFUW also wished to promote the basic aims of the IFUW, to further international friendship and understanding.By 1949 the capital fund had reached £4000 and it was agreed that an award of £300 for one year should be offered to a member of the British Federation of University Women to take up the award in ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ, in appreciation of outstanding work during the 1939-45 war. The first Fellow was Miss Eila Campbell, MA, Lecturer in Geography. The fund has accumulated with Graduate Women branches and  Charitable Trusts from across the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ contributing funds each year.​Selection criteria:Proposed studyAcademic profileAchievementsFinancial circumstances Potential impact
