Scholarships
You will have all sorts of costs when you start tertiary education, including fees for the courses you are interested in.
Fees and costs differ at each educational institution and depending on what course you do. Fees may also be different for domestic and international students, and you may need to pay upfront — so it pays to find out what it may cost you in advance.
Scholarships may also be available to help cover some of your costs. There is a common misconception that scholarships are only for ‘straight A’ students, but this isn’t true. There are a variety of scholarships available depending on who you are and what you do.
The New Zealand Government has Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships for tertiary education students from approved counties. Our local tertiary education providers may also have scholarships available – check out the information below.
