Yes, there are scholarships available for international students pursuing a Master's in Psychology in New Zealand.

Some options include:

- Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships: Open to students from India. Covers tuition, living expenses, and travel. Requires at least one year of relevant work experience or recent graduation, residency in your home country for two years prior, and a commitment to contribute to your country after studies.

- University-specific scholarships: Many New Zealand universities offer scholarships for international Master's students, often based on academic merit and your admission to a relevant program. Amounts and eligibility vary by university.

- Specialized scholarships: Some universities offer awards specifically for Psychology or related fields, with selection based on academic achievement and, in some cases, financial need.

Scholarship criteria and amounts are subject to change. For next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for personalized guidance on available scholarships and application support.
