Filipino students are encouraged to take advantage of the five undergraduate scholarships The Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand is offering. The scholarship for 2017 is open to those with excellent academic records from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region.
On the back of unprecedented spike of interest among Filipino students to study in the island nation recorded last year, Education New Zealand (ENZ), the country’s government agency for international education, expects applications from the Philippines.
“The number of Filipino students in New Zealand almost doubled in 2015. We hope Filipinos would tap into this opportunity as they look to pursue international studies in New Zealand,” says Ben Burrows, ENZ Regional Communication and Strategic Relations manager for Southeast Asia.
The ASEAN Undergraduate Tuition Fees scholarship covers the tuition for the first year of study for an undergraduate degree commencing 2017. Applicants must be under the age of 23 on Dec. 31, 2016 and students must begin their course at Victoria in either Trimester 1 or Trimester 2.
Applications will be accepted today until Oct. 31. Visit www.victoria.ac.nz/asean for more information.
