We are pleased to invite applications to the Kākano Fund from students enrolled during 2019 in a degree course for a BA Hons or MA in Social and/or Cultural Anthropology. Consideration will also be given to PhD students if funding permits. Students must be enrolled in a Social or Cultural Anthropology graduate programme at a New Zealand university.

Applications can be made for funds to be used towards conference presentations or costs related to the preparation of a thesis/dissertation. Students are eligible for an award if their course requires the completion of a single thesis, a dissertation, or a research portfolio, and if the date of final submission of their work falls within the period of 1 April to 30 September 2019.

This is the first round of applications for 2019. The deadline for applications is Friday 31 May 2019. Application forms are available here.

If you have any queries about the award, please contact the Chair of the Kākano Committee, Dr Barbara Andersen.
