Scholarships to International Students in New Zealand

.

Scholarships

New Zealand International Scholarships are funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand.

 

World class education

New Zealand provides opportunities to study under internationally recognised academics and researchers in a wide range of disciplines.

Qualifications from New Zealand universities rank with the world’s best and have a reputation for being practical and modern. In some niche areas, such as biotechnology, forensic science and marine engineering, New Zealand degrees are acknowledged as world-leading.

Students educated here are earning a reputation as a new breed of innovative thinkers, and enjoying success the world over.

 

International partnerships

Our international scholarships reflect the Government's commitment to strengthening educational partnerships with other countries and regions.

The scholarship programme aims to share New Zealand’s excellent education system with the rest of the world, and bring the best academics from elsewhere to share their knowledge. Up to 100 doctoral and 100 undergraduate students are currently studying under the programme.

  • conferences, if the attendee is presenting a paper

  • cooperative research with researchers abroad

  • independent research at facilities not available in New Zealand, like research institutes and libraries.

The scholarship is funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand.

 

Eligibility

To be eligible you must be enrolled full-time at a New Zealand institution and hold good standing in a postgraduate degree programme, both when you apply and throughout the tenure of the award.

International students are eligible to apply, but priority may be given to New Zealand citizens and permanent residents. Awards are available to students in any field of study.

 

Value

The value of the award will vary widely up to a maximum of $10,000, according to the costs of the proposed project. The amount of funding is determined by the selection committee. No funding is available for accompanying dependants.

The awards are offered twice a year. Applications must be submitted to the Education New Zealand Scholarships Manager by 1 May and 1 November.

 

Objectives of the scholarship

The scholarship aims to:

  • maximize the research capability and output of New Zealand tertiary providers

  • help New Zealand’s top postgraduate students gain short-term access to some of the best educational institutions and opportunities overseas

  • raise the international profile and reputation of New Zealand’s tertiary educational institutions

  • increase international education linkages and partnerships with participating countries, regions and institutions.

 

New Zealand Undergraduate Study Abroad Awards

The New Zealand Undergraduate Study Abroad Awards (NZUSAA) are available to New Zealand undergraduate students who wish to complete part of their qualification overseas. They are available to students enrolled at universities, institutes of technology and polytechnics.

The scholarship is a one-off payment meant to contribute to costs relating to the exchange or study abroad programme, and not to fully cover those costs.  No funds are available for accompanying dependants.

Candidates for the NZUSAA must be nominated by their home institution and may not apply directly to Education New Zealand.  Students who wish to be considered should contact the Student Exchange/Study Abroad Manager at their home institution.

The scholarship is funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand.

Please note, Students must not submit their applications directly to Education New Zealand. Instead, they must be submitted to the Student Exchange Manager/Coordinator of the New Zealand institution they attend

 

Eligibility

To be eligible for a NZUSAA you must:

  • be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident

  • be enrolled in a degree programme or a diploma programme (NZQA level 5 or above) at a New Zealand institution

  • be accepted by your home institution and (where applicable) your destination institution for participation in an exchange or short-term study programme for which you will receive credit towards your New Zealand qualification

  • have successfully completed at least one semester of full-time study at the time of application

  • have a B average or above.

 

Value of the scholarship

In most cases, the awards will carry a value of $3,000 for one semester, and $5,000 for two semesters.  The selection committee will have the discretion to vary those amounts where appropriate based on length of study and destination country.

 

Nomination due dates

Nominations are due at Education New Zealand from institutions on 1 May and
1 November each year.

The scholarships aim to:

  • raise the international profile and reputation of New Zealand’s tertiary education institutions, particularly among students overseas

  • increase the number of New Zealand students participating in study abroad while completing an undergraduate New Zealand qualification
