Postgraduate Field Research Awards
Each year NZAID offers Post Graduate Field Research Awards to students from New Zealand universities undertaking research in developing countries.
The awards are only available to New Zealand citizens or permanent residents that are undertaking research as part of the requirements of a New Zealand-based Masters Degree or Doctorate in a field related to international development.
Applications for the 2008/09 awards closed on Friday 28 November 2008. The 2009/10 round of the fund will open towards the middle of 2009.
