You are automatically considered if you enroll in one of the eligible programmes (listed below) as a Study Abroad student from one of Otago Polytechnic’s international partner institutions.

ELIGIBILITY:

This entrance scholarship supports Study Abroad students beginning full-time study in 2026.

Applicants for the Scholarship must:

International students are not eligible and cannot receive the scholarship if:

Have permanently moved to study part-time (including commencing full-time study and then reducing this to part-time). In such a situation the international student waives their right to the scholarship and will be liable for the payment of remaining fees for the semesters enrolled as part-time.
