Special Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants must be completing, or have completed, on or after 1 January of the year before the year of application, a university entrance-level qualification that permits entry into a University of Canterbury undergraduate degree programme (please refer to the

for more details).
Applicants, by the closing date for the round in which they are applying, must have applied for admission to the University.
The scholarship is not tenable by students who have already undertaken partial study in an undergraduate degree programme at a New Zealand tertiary institution.
Selection will be based on:

financial circumstances; and
strategic objectives of the University.
Additional Information:
If, during the tenure of a scholarship, a recipient’s immigration status changes so that they are no longer a full-fee-paying international student and thereby obtain a partial refund of academic fees from the University, the scholarship is withdrawn, and any scholarship money paid since the status change was recorded at the University is refunded to the University.
