TeachNZ Scholarships: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how TeachNZ Scholarships can cover your course fees and living costs if you are training to teach high-need subjects in New Zealand.
These scholarships provide financial support to students who are training to become teachers in subjects that are currently in high demand.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for students who are studying to become teachers and are focusing on subjects that are considered high-need within the education system.
What you get
If you receive a scholarship, the program will cover your course fees and provide you with an allowance to help with your living expenses.
What it costs you
In exchange for this financial support, you must commit to working as a teacher in New Zealand schools for a specific period of time after you graduate.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that this is a service-based scholarship. If you do not fulfill your requirement to teach for the agreed period, you will be required to pay the scholarship money back.
How to apply
- Check that your intended subject of study is on the high-need list.
- Review the specific service requirements for your training level.
- Submit your application through the official education department channels.
