About the scholarship
With a Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship, you will receive fully funded study at the University—and the chance to give back to your country. Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships are funded through the New Zealand Aid Programme and administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) to help build prosperity, security, and sustainable growth in partner countries. At Lincoln University (a Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships partner institution) you can study programmes that will best benefit your country, while receiving ongoing support from a dedicated team. Your Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship will give you a world-class education, lifelong friendships, and vital skills to strengthen your career.
