Overview
The University of Auckland offers up to three Emeritus Professor John Chen Scholarships, each worth up to NZD 10,000, for eligible first-year engineering students who intend to specialise in Chemical and Materials Engineering in Part II of their studies.
Complete scholarship details
The scholarship is tenable for one year and is designed to encourage and assist undergraduate students entering Chemical and Materials Engineering. The University's regulations state that selection is based on academic merit assessed through Semester One GPA, with the published GPA thresholds applying to eligible applicants.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents, be currently enrolled in Part I of a BE(Hons) or BE(Hons) conjoint degree at the University of Auckland, and intend to specialise in Chemical and Materials Engineering in Part II the following year. The regulations state a Semester One GPA requirement of 6.00, or 5.50 for Māori or Pacific candidates.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Re-verified against the University of Auckland scholarship page, the official scholarship regulations and the university's current scholarships-closing-soon listing. All authoritative evidence gives a closing date of 24 September 2026 but no closing clock time/timezone, so the earlier synthetic 11:59 UTC timestamp is removed and deadline_date preserves the factual calendar deadline. The individual scholarship page and the university's current application listing expose conflicting open-status wording, so this record does not assert that applications are currently open; applicants should confirm status on the official page.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
