You may be eligible for several scholarships for your Master's studies in New Zealand, including both full and partial awards.

- Full scholarships: Some options cover full tuition fees and may include a living allowance, such as the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships and certain university research scholarships.
- Partial scholarships: Many universities offer partial scholarships typically ranging from NZD 3,000 to NZD 20,000 towards tuition fees. For example, the University of Auckland International Student Excellence Scholarship provides up to NZD 10,000.

Scholarship amounts and eligibility are subject to change and depend on your academic record, work experience, and specific course. Reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor for personalized guidance and application support.
