The Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship is a New Zealand government scholarship, providing funding for students wishing to study in the island nation.
The scholarships are open to students from selected countries in the Pacific, Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.
An applicant’s study programme will need to be related to their country’s human resource and development needs. After the programme is complete, students will be expected to return home to make a positive difference in their home countries.
The scholarship includes full tuition fees, a living allowance, an establishment allowance, medical insurance and travel to and from your own country and New Zealand. Postgraduate students are also offered research and thesis costs.
Deadlines will vary based on your country of residence and sometimes deadlines are moved forward if there is a high volume of applicants, so it’s always a good idea to apply early.
All eight of New Zealand’s universities are ranked in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
