Scholarships may be held with the VUW Undergraduate International Scholarship, which awards $15,000 towards tuition fees in the first year of study. All recipients of the International School-Leaver Excellence Scholarships are guaranteed an offer of a place in one of our Halls of Residence, provided an accommodation application is received at University Accommodation by 1 October.
