University of Auckland Top Achiever Scholarship

The Scholarship was established in 2016 and is funded by Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.

The main purpose of the Scholarship is to recognise and reward exceptional academic performance combined with outstanding sporting, artistic, cultural and / or leadership achievements.

The provision of university accommodation is designed to provide the best student experience and promote excellent academic outcomes.

Please read the regulations carefully to be sure you are eligible to apply.

Then click on the “Apply now” button and complete the online application form.

We recommend you check the form early in case a reference or endorsement is required to support your application, and to familiarise yourself with the form.

All sections (including request sections) must be completed by the closing date, which is midnight on the specified date (unless stated otherwise).

We recommend you do not have two different scholarship applications open within the same browser.

Outcomes are determined by a selection committee and are usually notified around eight weeks after the closing date.

You can find answers to your questions about scholarships, awards and prizes on the University’s online help and support centre, AskAuckland.
