Studying in New Zealand

Scholarships in New Zealand & Seattle

Many accomplished graduates have spent time studying in New Zealand thanks to scholarships from either New Zealand or their home countries. In addition to getting a a world-class education, students have praised the relaxed, kiwi lifestyle, it's unique culture and the connections they have made with their fellow students. We believe that taking time to study in New Zealand is one of the best decisions you'll ever make.
