Entry requirements
You must be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident to be eligible to apply for this bursary. Include the following with your application:
- A personal statement that identifies your financial circumstances and clearly demonstrates need. Please provide an overview of your financial circumstances which shows that you have a greater need than your peers.

- A financial statement giving an estimate of your total income from all sources for the following year and an estimate of your likely outgoings. This should include a table highlighting all expected income and expected expenses.
- The names and contact details of two people, preferably members of the Massey University academic staff, who have agreed to act as referees. You need to ask them to forward their written comments about your academic ability and potential directly to [email protected] by the scholarship closing date.
