SCHOLARSHIPS
NZQA scholarships
New Zealand Scholarship provides recognition and financial reward to top students in their last year of schooling. New Zealand Scholarship assessments enable candidates to be assessed against challenging standards and are demanding for the most able candidates in each subject. Assessment is by either a written/spoken examination or by the submission of a portfolio or report of work produced throughout the year. Students should speak to their teachers to discuss whether scholarship would be a suitable pathway for them. To read more about scholarships, please visit the NZQA site.
