Ngā tīwhiri mō te tono atu | Tips on applying for scholarships
- Do your research
Browse all the available scholarships to find out what's on offer.
- Read the regulations
They tell you what the Selection Committee will be looking for and whether you are eligible.
- Apply for all the scholarships you are eligible for
Many scholarships allow you to hold more than one at a time.
Start your application early
You can save and come back to it later if you need to do more research.- Prepare your information
Think about what you want to include with your application and, if required, who you will use as your referee(s).
- Talk to your referees
It is important they know to expect a request from UC (which will have a deadline).
- Sell yourself!
Scholarships are highly competitive, so make the most of the word limit in open ended questions. This is an opportunity to tell us why you deserve the scholarship.
- Submit your application by the deadline
This date is not flexible.
