What conditions are attached to acceptance of this award?
The University of Auckland Health Research Doctoral Scholarship must be taken up within 3 months of acceptance of the award. The University of Auckland Health Research Doctoral Scholarship may not be held concurrently with any postgraduate scholarship awarded by the New Zealand Vice-Chancellor’s Committee unless the University of Auckland Council so approves. However, it may be held with any other study award or grant where the regulations for that award or grant permit and where the University of Auckland Council so approves. If the value of co-tenured scholarships exceeds $35,000 the emolument for The University of Auckland Health Research Doctoral Scholarship will be reduced to limit the co-tenured total to $35,000. To comply with the fulltime study requirement in regulation 2, the amount of additional and paid work a Scholar may undertake either inside or outside the University shall not exceed a total of 500 hours in a calendar year. The University of Auckland Council has power to terminate or suspend a Scholarship, if it receives an unsatisfactory report on the progress of a Scholar from the Head of the host Department or Institute.

Students who hold a scholarship on a part-time basis are subject to the same employment restrictions as full-time scholarship holders (Refer Regulation 9 and Notes ix and x) and are required to change to full-time enrolment if a change in their circumstances means they no longer qualify to hold the scholarship on a part-time basis.

In the event of award after the appointment date, the appointee MUST inform the Head of Department and the Scholarship Office.
* (xi) Paid work that is required as part of an approved doctoral programme (such as the internship for third year DClinPsy students), is not counted towards the 500 hours of additional and paid work that a Scholar may undertake while in receipt of a scholarship.
* (xii) DClinPsy students enrolled in the DClinPsy internship year may apply to the Scholarships Office for a stipend. If they provide evidence to the Scholarships Office that their net internship salary is less than the value of The University of Auckland Health Research Doctoral Scholarship they will receive a stipend to bring their income up to the value of the scholarship.
