New Zealand Government Scholarships for International Tertiary Students

The New Zealand Aid Programme invests money, knowledge, and skills to help deliver sustainable development and reduce poverty in developing countries. It also provides humanitarian support to save lives and relieve suffering resulting from natural disasters and conflict. New Zealand Government Scholarship is a full tertiary scholarship for eligible international students to study fulltime at a New Zealand education institution or a Pacific University.
