Deadline: 9 September 2024
The Michael & Suzanne Borrin Foundation is inviting proposals for its Borrin Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship from law graduates demonstrating financial need who wish to obtain a postgraduate degree in law overseas or domestically.
At the Borrin Foundation they believe in an Aotearoa New Zealand that is just, inclusive tolerant, and free. They aim to help build capacity in the legal community, and promote a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive legal world.
The Foundation recognises that while many students aspire to pursue a postgraduate degree in law, structural inequalities, adverse conditions, financial need, and complex personal circumstances may make it more challenging for talented individuals to succeed.
Funding Information
- Pool of funding available: $120,000
- The pool will be split between multiple scholars.
- Generally, awards of up to $40,000 will be considered for a one-year course of study and up to $80,000 for multiyear courses of study. These figures are indicative, and applications may be made for amounts below or above these suggested figures.
Eligibility Criteria
- Be a New Zealand citizen or Permanent Resident.
- Be an LLB graduate from a New Zealand institution (or in your final year) who wishes to advance their law studies.
- Demonstrate financial need that cannot reasonably be met from other sources of funding.
