Victoria University of Wellington

Victoria University of Wellington sits inside the same national funding rules as every New Zealand university: international doctoral students pay domestic fees, so the real question at PhD level is the stipend on top, and the government's own international scholarships are limited, which puts the weight on university awards. Victoria's doctoral scholarships and its summer research scholarships, both on this page, are the awards international research students should start from.

Undergraduate funding at Victoria runs through school-leaver scholarships and awards for continuing students, but most of those are aimed at New Zealand domestic students, so international undergraduates meet a thinner field. The genuinely open international awards are usually merit based and applied for as part of admission, and faculty prizes add smaller support once you are enrolled.

The level line on each card is the fastest filter on this page, because the domestic school-leaver money and the international doctoral support have almost nothing in common. Victoria publishes current rounds through its scholarships office, and each official link leads to the page that states eligibility and the closing date.
