New Zealand Scholarships are open

March 3, 2017

New Zealand Scholarships foster and build future leaders, as well as equipping you with skills and knowledge to benefit your home country.

With a New Zealand Scholarship, you'll get fully funded tuition and other financial benefits, as well as personal and academic support. While studying in New Zealand, you’ll enjoy the benefits of our world-class educational facilities and share in our unique Kiwi lifestyle.

In return, you’ll undertake to return home to share your knowledge and skills to benefit your country. You'll also need to fulfil your obligations as a scholarship recipient.

Why we give scholarships

New Zealand Scholarships are part of the New Zealand Aid Programme. Our aid is delivered to develop shared prosperity and stability in the Pacific and beyond, drawing on the best of New Zealand’s knowledge and skills. Read more about our approach to aid.

We support sustainable development in developing countries to reduce poverty and contribute to a more secure, equitable and prosperous world.

New Zealand Scholarships help to build a cadre of well-educated and highly capable people who can contribute to better development outcomes and help generate sustainable growth in developing countries. We also want to identify innovators and potential leaders, and provide them with opportunities to develop their skills and networks so they can contribute to their home country.

New Zealand Scholarships build a lifetime connection between scholars and New Zealand. Our scholarships also help to build strong and enduring links between New Zealand and partner countries.
