The Top Achiever Doctoral scholarship is available for students enrolled in or applying for a programme of PhD study. This Scholarship is fully funded by the government. A Top Achiever Doctoral Scholarship provides support for 36 months of study.

- an annual stipend of $25,000 (an overseas loading will be applied where the Scholarship is undertaken in a country other than New Zealand)
- conference attendance to a maximum of $3,000 (GST included) per annum
relocation costs for overseas students (these costs will be deducted from the funds provided for conference attendance)
- medical insurance (if Scholarship is undertaken overseas and the insurance is justified)
- the annual course fee required by the host tertiary education provider.
