Scholarships for building research


BRANZ funds scholarships for university students with outstanding academic credentials to undertake research that benefits the entire building sector.

The scholarship programme is under review in 2024.

BRANZ is currently reviewing the scholarship programme to ensure that it is well-positioned to deliver the best outcomes. While the review is underway, BRANZ will not request new scholarship proposals.

BRANZ will continue to support the scholarships currently contracted and underway.

BRANZ strongly encourage research proposals to consider students (particularly Masters and PhD scholars) to be part of the project team when there is a strong alignment between the project concept and the student’s interest areas of research.

Testimonials

We are proud to share that our current scholars are conducting research on a wide range of fascinating topics, including low-carbon construction, sustainable building, home maintenance, environmental resilience, and mental health and wellbeing. These scholars are paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future, and we are honoured to support them in their endeavours.
