Master of Laws Degree Scholarships
Scholarships for Energy and Natural Resources Law Studies
The IBA Section on Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law (SEERIL) and its Academic Advisory Group (AAG) are delighted to announce that SEERIL is to award scholarships and research grants to students wishing to pursue advanced studies in energy and natural resources law.
The aim of SEERIL and its committees is to advance the development and understanding of the law affecting oil and gas, mining, power, water, international construction projects and environmental, health and safety law.
This scholarship, for an amount of up to 18,000 GBP, will consider studies that may involve a masters, PhD or post-doctoral research project. Research grants may be made to doctoral or post-doctoral students to enable further research on an important topic. It is recognised that there are considerable differences between education programmes around the world and the committee is dedicated to ensuring that all possibilities for graduate and post graduate studies in energy and natural resources law are eligible.
The IBA therefore invites interested students (or institutions) to apply for a scholarship. All applications received by Friday 16 March 2012 will be submitted to the Scholarship Committee. Each candidate must meet the requirements set out in the criteria overleaf.
More information can be found at the International Bar Association website.

In his role as kaumatua, Binga provided a great deal of support to the Faculty assisting with numerous powhiri and other hui, and advising both staff and students on a host of matters.
The scholarship is valued between $2,000 and $6,000 and is awarded each year to the most deserving all-round Maori student.
