Yes, sponsorship from your brother (as an Australian citizen) is accepted for New Zealand student visa applications, and scholarships can also help reduce your study costs.

- Sponsorship: Immediate family members, including siblings, can act as financial sponsors. Your brother will need to show proof of relationship, provide evidence of sufficient funds in his name, and submit a formal commitment to support your studies.
- Scholarships: These can further lower your expenses by covering tuition or living costs, depending on the award and your eligibility.

Combining family sponsorship with scholarships can make your study abroad funding more manageable.
