Students (ākonga) in their last year of school have the opportunity to apply for a limited number of Year 13 scholarships to study their chosen career at EIT | Te Pūkenga.
The Year 13 Scholarship, which is offered annually by EIT | Te Pūkenga, covers one year of tuition fees
plus any course-related costs which have been approved to be included as part of the scholarship.
The Government fees-free policy covers fees for the first year of study. This scholarship could cover the students’ second year of study, meaning two years of their degree are without fees.
To qualify, students must meet the degree (or eligible certificate or diploma) entry criteria, be accepted to undertake full-time degree study at EIT|Te Pūkenga, starting semester one, and any other terms and conditions related to the programme.
Meriama Taufale, the team leader, Engagement and Transitions at EIT | Te Pūkenga, says the scholarship offers school students in Hawke’s Bay and Tairāwhiti the opportunity to remain at home and study what they are interested in.
