# Which are some popular scholarships in New Zealand?

Popular options include the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship (government-funded, covers tuition and living costs for eligible students), University of Auckland International Student Excellence Scholarship, Victoria University of Wellington Tongarewa Scholarship, AUT International Scholarships, and University of Waikato Vice-Chancellor's International Excellence Scholarship. Most are merit-based and partially cover tuition, so check eligibility and deadlines early.
