Scholarships
Scholarships and fellowships provide significant recognition and monetary reward for students who continue to strive for academic success.
The Scholarships Committee of the NZVCC administers a wide range of nationally available undergraduate and postgraduate awards. Study opportunities provided by these scholarships are critical when financial support for individual students is increasingly difficult to obtain.
The scholarships offered are funded from contributions of charitable trusts, individuals, governments and industry. We currently handle nearly 40 scholarships.
Before contacting us please refer to our Frequently asked questions about scholarships.
Scholarships, grants and prizes are also administered by each university. Students should contact their own university scholarships office (see related links) for more information.
Focus On 50th Anniversary of the Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Commonwealth Scholarship scheme, the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors’ Committee produced a publication commemorating New Zealand’s contribution to the scheme over the past fifty years. The publication was launched at a reception in the Grand Hall of Parliament buildings in Wellington on the evening of the 4th September.
