Study and residency criteria
To be awarded a NZQA Scholarship Monetary Award a student must be:
- enrolled at a New Zealand tertiary education provider in a course recognised for Student Loan and/or Student Allowance purposes in New Zealand and
- enrolled in more than 0.4 EFTS
The requirement to be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident was removed from 2009. The change applies to students sitting the examinations from the end of 2009 and means that international students can now qualify for these awards, provided they meet the general eligibility criteria.
