This scholarship assists young women from refugee backgrounds who aspire to complete a degree, but who may be denied the opportunity because of their financial circumstances. The purpose of the scholarship is to enable recipients to graduate from a New Zealand university or polytechnic without the significant debt faced by many of their peers.

Please note: Due to changes in the government’s fees-free policy, school leavers can apply for the scholarship.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this scholarship you must be:

  • a young woman, aged 18 to 28
  • from a refugee background
  • a permanent resident or citizen of Aotearoa New Zealand
  • in a position of financial and/or personal hardship
