The purpose of a New Zealand Scholarship is to fund the training of citizens from developing countries, so they can positively impact on their country’s development by sharing new skills and knowledge gained from their study.

- PhD (up to 3.5 years)
- Successful scholarship applicants must meet both the academic entry requirements and the English language requirements determined by each education institution.
- When shortlisting scholarship applicants, we prefer applicants who can clearly describe on their application form, how they will improve their country’s social and economic development after their scholarship.
