About the scholarship

The Vice-Chancellor's Scholarships for International Students (New Zealand) recognise the additional challenges currently faced by international students in New Zealand, particularly in being unable to return to their families and home country due to border restrictions. These scholarships support international students to remain in the country and commence study on campus at Otago in 2021. The scholarship includes NZD$10,000 contribution towards the tuition fee on an eligible programme and a guaranteed place in University-owned accommodation.

Entry requirements

International students who are not New Zealand citizens or permanent residents; currently living in New Zealand; have gained university admission through completion of Year 12 and Year 13 at a New Zealand school or an equivalent foundation level course, or completion of an internationally recognised qualification; have not completed any previous study at a New Zealand university; and are intending to enrol for full-time study in the first year of an undergraduate degree.
