About the NZ-GRADS

NZ-GRADS is a doctoral scholarship (PhD) scholarship offered to science students from developing countries to complete their PhD at a New Zealand university.

The PhD research topics must be related to greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural systems, primarily livestock, but innovative and novel aspects of this will be considered, especially related to new technologies or new applications of existing technologies.

The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) offers a wide range of capability building and research programmes through various partners within New Zealand and internationally. NZ-GRADS awardees will be actively supported through various extension and networking events that the GRA hosts in New Zealand.

The NZ-GRADS is a government-funded scholarship administered by Education New Zealand. The scholarship provides full tuition fees and a living stipend for up to three years.
