About the scholarship

Are you in Year 13 and thinking about a future in property or construction?

If you’re finishing high school this year—or if you've finished recently but haven’t started tertiary study yet—Keystone Trust could help you take the next step.

We offer a range of scholarships for students who are passionate about careers in the property or construction industries, especially those facing financial or personal challenges that might make further study difficult.

Our Keystone Study Award provides:

$5,500 per year for up to three years of full-time tertiary study

Access to mentoring, industry events, and exclusive networking opportunities with our partner companies

Each year, we award up to 13 scholarships to students just like you—people with talent, drive, and a vision for their future.

If you're ready to build your future, we’re here to back you!

How To Apply

1. Decide which scholarship(s) you’ll apply for

As soon as applications open, read through the criteria for each scholarship and decide which scholarship(s) you’ll apply for. Students often apply for more than one scholarship – there’s no limit on this, as long as you’re eligible for each one.

2. Get prepared

Read through the application form for each scholarship you’re applying for to get a good understanding of the information and supporting documents you’ll need to submit. All supporting documents should be submitted with your application.

3. Start your application early

The application form can be saved, so we’d suggest that you start working on your applications sooner rather than later, coming back to them as needed. Don’t leave it until the last minute!

4. Get a second pair of eyes

Once you’ve completed the application form(s), ask a trusted family member, teacher or careers advisor to review your application.

5. Hit the submit button

Make any finishing touches needed, submit your application and give yourself a big pat on the back. You’ve taken the first step!

6. Attend an interview

If you’ve made it onto the shortlist, we’ll be in touch to arrange an interview (either in person or via Zoom) so we can get to know you and answer any questions you have.

7. Receive your scholarship

If you’re awarded a scholarship, you’ll be invited to our Awards Evening, where we’ll hand out your certificate. Welcome to the Keystone Trust family!

What you receive

Financial assistance, mentoring and first-year study buddy, as well as invites to regular networking events, incredible work experience opportunities and more.

Entry requirements

These scholarship's are open to all schools within New Zealand and school leavers that meet the specified criteria.
