If you are an international student who is completing secondary (high school) outside of New Zealand (offshore), you may be considered for the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship for International Students, or the International Global Scholarship when you apply to study at the University of Otago.
If you are an international student completing secondary school within New Zealand (onshore), you are eligible to apply for entrance scholarships. When being assessed for these scholarships, you may be considered for an international scholarship.
