Payments shall be made by way of two equal payments of $2,500 per semester and will be made at the beginning of each academic semester upon enrolment in their chosen degree. This scholarship is considered to be a partial payment of total fees charged, meaning that successful scholarship applicants are required to pay any remaining fees themselves.
Lincoln University was founded in 1878 as a School of Agriculture, and it's the New Zealand's third oldest university. The institution was initially linked to Canterbury College, welcoming its first intake of students in 1880. In 1961, the University was officially renamed Lincoln College, becoming a constituent college of the University of Canterbury. Later, Lincoln University formally separated from the University of Canterbury and became the self-governing national university that it is today. For 2017/18 year, Lincoln's ranking is 319 in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings. Lincoln also has QS Five Stars rating and ranks in the top 50 in the subject areas of Agriculture and Forestry.
