Part I
If you’re a new student enrolling at the University of Auckland, you may be eligible for a scholarship, regardless of your background or where you live.
Overview of entry-level and first-year scholarships
We will be supporting more students than ever before to embark on their undergraduate studies in 2017, with four brand new scholarships:
- University of Auckland Top Achiever Scholarships
Rewards exceptional students, who have excellent academic records and demonstrated leadership potential. - University of Auckland Māori Academic Excellence Scholarships
Recognises students with Māori heritage, who have excellent academic records and active participation in community, cultural and other activities. - University of Auckland Pacific Academic Excellence Scholarships
Recognises students with Pacific heritage, who have excellent academic records and active participation in community, cultural and other activities. - University of Auckland Academic Potential Scholarships
Supports students who have achieved academically, but are experiencing hardships that potentially limit their opportunities or who may have been disadvantaged due to their personal circumstances.
There are also Engineering-specific scholarships to consider:
- Our Kick Start scholarships are specific to school leavers about to study engineering
- The Faculty of Engineering Undergraduate Award offers five recipients a year's worth of assistance
Other scholarships
Always consider the variety of scholarships available. You may find something suitable if you're a school leaver from a specific background, embarking on a new study pathway, or enrolling for the first time, but not straight out of school.

As well as the significant financial relief, the community of other scholars and the staff that support scholarship winners were incredible and have been a great source of inspiration over the years. It is a truly diverse network that has helped me to grow as a person, and allowed me to become involved in social issues that I and my fellow scholars care deeply about.
