About the scholarships
Fisheries New Zealand offer scholarships to both Masters and undergraduate students.
Applications will be accepted from 15 September until 31 October 2025 for the 2026 academic year.
To apply for either scholarship, you must:
- be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident
- undertake full-time study in New Zealand (with the possibility of some coursework through an Australian university)
- let Fisheries New Zealand know if you hold other scholarships (you're encouraged to apply for additional scholarships that cover fees).
Fisheries New Zealand has supported scholarships since 2006. The aim is to support undergraduate and postgraduate students of mathematics, statistics, computing, marine biology, and quantitative fisheries science.
We want to develop these areas of research, as there is a shortage of trained quantitative graduates in New Zealand to do research and contribute to the sustainable use of fisheries.
