We are pleased to invite applications for Round One of the Kākano Fund Award from students enrolled during 2024 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.

This fund assists eligible graduate students with thesis and conference costs. Students are eligible for an award in Round One 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 2024 to 30 September 2024.

There will be two funding rounds for Kākano Fund Awards in 2024. The deadline for Round One applications is Monday 27 May 2024. Application forms are available at https://www.asaanz.org/kakano-fund.

If you have any queries about the award, please contact the Chair of the Kākano Fund Committee, Professor Julie Park.
