University of Waikato Scholarships Office

The Scholarships Office provides support and advice to potential and enrolled students considering applying for scholarships by:

• offering or being the agent for a number of scholarships at school leaver, undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels.
• maintaining a website on which all scholarships which the University offers or for which it is an agent are advertised
• preparing a scholarships newsletter which provides up-to-date information about scholarships currently on offer
• providing a scholarships advisory service, available to all students applying for scholarships at this University.

The Office administers all the school leaver, undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate scholarships offered by the University, details of which are provided on this website. Click here for the link to the Scholarships Information Page. We encourage students interested in applying for scholarships to subscribe to our electronic newsletter. You can do this by clicking here. The staff within the Scholarships Office welcome the opportunity to discuss academic and administrative processes related to scholarships with prospective and enrolled students.

The Office also has a role in the administration of scholarships offered by the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors' Committee (NZVCC). Scholarships offered through NZVCC, their regulations and application forms can be downloaded. You can click here for the link to the NZVCC site.

• Information about funding options for international students is available from International Student Admissions.
• Information about funding through contracted research projects is available from Unilink.
