Scholarship opportunities for international students

There are a number of scholarship opportunities available to international postgraduate students, either through the University of Canterbury or through the New Zealand Government.

If you are consistently achieving A grades or the equivalent, we recommend that you consider the following scholarships, which can pay a significant proportion of the costs of studying at the University of Canterbury.

Important: In addition to applying for a scholarship, students must also apply for admission to the University.


There are a number of smaller scholarships which international postgraduate students can apply for. These are listed in the Scholarships Guide.
