Scholarships in New Zealand

New Zealand has soared to new heights after having made so many advancements in the education sector. It is currently ranking in the fifth position in helping international students to achieve their career goals by allowing them to study in its universities. The country also tops in providing research-based education to students and thus helping its economy grow and making the country filled with a more skilled workforce. In fact, New Zealand has an 81% of literacy rate meaning there are more number of students graduating each year, including national and international students. This is due to the main facts of New Zealand Standardizing its education system, raising the bar to International Standards and making “English” as one of the main forms of medium of Instruction apart from Maori, the New Zealand Sign language. To top it all, New Zealand has all of its universities ranking in the “QS World Ranking Universities” list for the continuous years.

These all factors add to the growing popularity of the New Zealand country and making it as a highly desirable educational destination. Each year 43,000+ students graduate from New Zealand universities which is a good sign of the country maintaining a sophisticated education system. Also, since New Zealand follows the UK-based education system, it is quite costly for international students to study in the country. To help them in their education, New Zealand provides 650 scholarships each year to 130 countries making sure every deserving student is given an opportunity to explore its world-class education system.

The number of scholarships for international students in New Zealand will significantly increase as the country gets maximum revenue from its higher education sector. To receive scholarships to study in New Zealand, students must have an outstanding academic profile reflecting the profound knowledge they earned during their study course. Similarly, scholarships in New Zealand for Sri Lankan students are also projected to increase for deserving students.
