The NZARH Scholarship
(New Zealand only)

From 1999 until 2005 the Association offered an annual scholarship at the University of Auckland. The Scholarship is now offered nationally, to postgraduate students at all NZQA Accredited New Zealand tertiary education institutions.

The main purpose of the Scholarship is to promote open-minded inquiry in any field. Objectivity, innovation, critical thinking, and use of the scientific method as a tool for investigation are aspects of enquiry particularly valued by Rationalists and Humanists.
