Institute of Education Postgraduate Pathways Scholarship

Doctoral Research Grant

Each year this grant is given to doctoral students who are making satisfactory progress in their research. This grant provides $1500 per year up to a maximum of $4500 following a successful confirmation.

To access the grant, students submit a budget, signed off by their supervisor, between 1 and 31 May. Submissions go to Sue Richards, with payments made in June. The grant is intended to be used for costs that will support the doctoral student to engage in successful research. This use may include direct research costs, travel for research, childcare or other expenses incurred by the doctoral student.

Master's Thesis Fund

This fund is by application and is intended to help with costs related to carrying out the research. The fund's purpose is to help remove the barriers of research-related expenses that may inhibit students from completing successful research. The fund is available to students completing 90 or 120-credit thesis.

The fund provides up to $500 as a one-time payment.

Applications are due between 1 and 31 August. Email submissions to ioe-postgraduate@massey.ac.nz

A two-person panel will review the applications for completeness and justification of research expenses. Payments are made in September.

Ministry of Education subsidies for education courses

The Ministry of Education (MoE) Tertiary Fees Funding Support Scheme supports primary and intermediate teachers to study key areas of learning and teaching.

The scheme aims to:

  • build on the work started in MoE's professional development programmes for teachers
  • further develop teachers' pedagogical content knowledge and understanding of literacy and numeracy
  • support schools' efforts to raise the achievement of all their students by increasing the expertise and knowledge of their teachers.

Individuals or schools can apply to the MoE for up to 50% reimbursement of the tuition fees.
