Beverly Scholarships

The University of Otago Beverly Trust Fund Postgraduate Scholarship in Mathematics and Statistics was established in 2000 by the Beverly Trust Fund and the Department to encourage and support Doctoral and Masters students in the study of Mathematics and Statistics.

Applications are sought from students wishing to enrol for the PhD or Masters degrees in Mathematics or Statistics in an area of research that complements existing research strengths in the Department. Current staff interests span abstract algebra, applied continuum mechanics including geophysical and biological topics, biostatistics, combinatorics, complex analysis, environmental and ecological statistics (all areas), general relativity, graph theory, mathematical modelling, mathematics education, number theory, numerical analysis, polar marine hydrodynamics and modelling, and time series analysis.
  • For PhD study the fund currently pays New Zealand domestic fees and a stipend of $20,000 per annum for up to 3 years.
  • For Masters (MSc or MA), it pays New Zealand domestic fees and a stipend of $13,000 for 1 year of study.
(It may not normally be held concurrently with any other comparable scholarship.)
