Sir Robert Jones Refugee Women’s Scholarship (Graduate)

Sir Robert Jones established this scholarship in 2015 to redress the balance in equity faced by women who arrive in New Zealand as refugees and who aspire to participate in tertiary level study.

This GRADUATE scholarship fund will assist a small number of the most successful graduates to go on to postgraduate degrees.

Applications are invited from women who have graduated in the last three years and those in their final year of undergraduate study.
