Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships

The Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship is funded through the New Zealand Aid Programme and is administered by Education New Zealand (ENZ), in partnership with the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). The purpose of the scholarship is to provide recipients with academic study to learn new skills and acquire knowledge to assist in the social and economic development of their country when they return home. The New Zealand Aid Programme provides scholarships as part of our mission to support sustainable development to reduce poverty and contribute to a more secure, equitable and prosperous world. Scholarships are offered in specific subject areas that are most relevant to the development needs of the home country. This is so recipients can contribute to making a real and positive difference to their country when they return home at the end of the scholarship. With a full Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship, scholars receive: full tuition fees, living allowance (a stipend) of NZ$615 per week, an establishment allowance of NZ$3000, medical insurance when you are in New Zealand, tutoring costs up to the value of NZ$1000, travel to and from your own country, travel insurance, travel home during your scholarship, reintegration allowance of NZ$1000, help with research and thesis costs for many postgraduate students, yearly additional tutoring cost up to $1000 for certain undergraduate qualifications.
