Leave a comment

Application Deadline:  Same as the programme application closing date

LOCATION: New Zealand

This scholarship helps international students who are intending to study for a bachelor’s degree to join Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington’s international student community.

This is a partial fee-based scholarship that will go towards tuition fees for one year of study.

ELIGIBILITY:

To be eligible for this scholarship, students must be:

International students who are paying full international fees; and

Intending to study towards a Bachelor’s degree at Victoria University of Wellington; and

A holder of an unconditional or conditional Offer of  Place for a Bachelor’s degree at Victoria University of Wellington; and

New students to Victoria University of Wellington.

For the avoidance of doubt, this scholarship is open to students who are completing or have recently completed:

Victoria University of Wellington’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme; or

Victoria University of Wellington’s Foundation Studies programme.

A scholarship application is not required. Students will be assessed for their eligibility for a scholarship on application for their programme. Recipients will be advised if they have been offered the scholarship in their Offer of Place.

The scholarship applies for one year of study only, for a student’s first enrolment in that programme.

Payment of the scholarship will be made as a credit towards tuition fees only. The scholarship is applied directly to the tuition fees upfront, allowing students to pay the reduced amount to the university.

The scholarship will only be formally awarded once. While an applicant may apply for multiple programmes and receive multiple Offer of Place notifications confirming their acceptance and provisional scholarship eligibility for those programmes, only one scholarship will be formally awarded per student. The scholarship will be formally awarded once the applicant has enrolled in their first-year courses.

Recipients who subsequently withdraw from the study after the scholarship has been formally awarded may be required to pay back some or all of the scholarship value at the university’s discretion.

Recipients may request approval to defer this scholarship to another intake within the same calendar year. This scholarship cannot be deferred to a later year.

BENEFIT:

The value of the scholarship is NZ$15,000.

The programme is funded by the Government of Ireland in partnership with Irish higher education institutions (HEIs) and managed by the Higher Education Authority. Under the initiative, 60 scholarships are awarded each year for one year of full-time study at NFQ levels 9 or 10.

ELIGIBILITY:

In order to be eligible for a Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship, applicants must have a domiciliary of origin outside the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Candidates will first need to apply for admission to a master’s, postgraduate diploma, or PhD programme offered by an eligible Irish higher education institution as per that institution’s admission procedures. Candidates are advised to make inquiries directly to the relevant higher education institution about the eligibility of their course for GOI-IES. Where available, the institutions’ contact details are included in Appendix 1 of the 2026 GOI-IES call document, “Eligible Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)”. Appendix 1 is available on this webpage as a separate document and may be further updated with additional contact details.

Applicants must have a conditional or final offer of admission to an eligible Irish higher education institution at the time of applying for a Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship. Proof of admission must be submitted with the GOI-IES application, in the relevant section of the GOI-IES application form. Prospective candidates who have previously held a GOI-IES scholarship are not eligible to apply. Russian and Belarusian nationals are not eligible to apply.

Potential applicants should read the call documentation carefully to ascertain whether they are eligible to apply. Applications must be submitted via the 2026 GOI-IES online portal. A link to the application portal will be provided on this page when the 2026 call opens in late January 2026. A maximum of one application per candidate may be submitted in the 2026 cycle of the GOI-IES programme.

All applications require two references to be uploaded by the applicants via the online portal. It is recommended that candidates submit their applications well before the deadline to avoid technical issues due to heavy server traffic on the respective day.

BENEFIT:

A Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship consists of a stipend amounting to €10,000 for one year of full-time study at NFQ levels 9 or 10. The awardees’ host higher education institutions are required to give a full fee waiver to the awardees for the year of their scholarship.
