Elective Scholarship
Dental students studying in New Zealand can apply for one scholarship of $500 each quarter to help towards their elective placement costs.
How to apply
As the dental elective placements for 2020 have been postponed until further notice, MAS will not be awarding this scholarship. We will continue to monitor the situation closely, and if this changes we will advise by updating this page and via our social channels.
All applications must be received on time, by email to scholarships@mas.co.nz with the subject line “MAS Elective scholarship - dental”. You must also include a cover letter (within the body of the email) stating the reason for your application and how the scholarship will benefit your upcoming elective experience.
Please ensure your application meets all the entry criteria and you have read the terms and conditions carefully. You will receive an automated email confirming the receipt of your application, if you do not, please check the email address you have used is correct.
