Education should be accessible to anyone who chooses to put themselves forward to learn. A karahipi (scholarship) can be that one key needed to unlock opportunity for someone to shine.
We offer full fees scholarship for those living outside of Auckland and for anyone aged over 50 years. We also offer an Impact scholarship of 50% off fees for anyone who is working to make significant impact for people, society or the environment. It’s all part of our commitment to build equitable, impactful futures that are rich in diversity and serve all New Zealanders.
Before you apply for a scholarship, we recommend you check whether you’re entitled to the NZ Government’s Fees Free scheme.
There is also a hardship fund available through the government that may be helpful if you experience an unexpected need for financial support during your learning journey.
Don’t let 2022 pass by without investing in yourself with new knowledge. Check out our new & boosted scholarships (released 1 July 2022) that cover full or partial fees on any of our postgraduate programmes that start in 2022. It’s one big reason to move your future from your wishlist, to your schedule.
How it works:
In 2022, we have a total Scholarship Fund available to be used on any of our postgraduate programmes, across any of the scholarship types. But scholarships will only be available until that limit is met – so it pays to get in early and complete your application as soon as you can. As an example, you might not be able to join an intake until October 2022, but as long as you complete your enrolment application early and the limit of the fund has not yet been met, you can apply to receive a full fees scholarship for that October programme intake.
How to apply:
You can apply for a scholarship as part of your enrolment process, all you need to do is select the scholarship you are eligible for when it appears as part of your enrolment. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions below.
Within 5 days of submitting your application, we will be in touch to let you know the outcome of your application. You will then have 2 weeks to complete your programme enrolment to secure your scholarship funding.
Applying for the Impact Scholarship:
In your application you’ll need to outline the meaningful contributions you are making and could continue to make with the support of study with us, aligning this to at least one of the Impact Scholarship Criteria. Your application could be in a short video (5-10 min) with the link provided to us, or through a written submission, which you can upload or link to as part of your application. If you have any trouble with the online application, you can contact enrol@themindlab.com or email them your documents/video link.
