Māori/Pacific (and general applicant) - FULL and part scholarships to finish high school overseas
Do you know a Māori/Pacific* student in Year 11/12 eager to expand their horizons?
Would they like to study the International Baccalaureate with change-making youth from around the world, at an international boarding school in one of 18 locations across the world?
Applications are now open for UWC Aotearoa New Zealand 2025 scholarships and places.
Full and part scholarships are available (needs-assessed), as well as unfunded places.
Applicants must be New Zealand citizens ordinarily resident in New Zealand, who will be aged 16 or 17 on 1 August 2025 (and not yet 18 on 1 September 2025), completing NCEA Level 1 or higher (or equivalent) by the end of 2024.
Applicants should be academically strong, emotionally resilient, physically active, and involved in their school or local community.
Application forms and more information are available at www.nz.uwc.org.... Applications close on Sunday 13 October 2025.
*Aotearoa will have a 'Dare to Dream' scholarship for 2025 entry to UWC Red Cross Nordic in Flekke, Norway (near Bergen), and the school has expressed a _strong_ preference for an Indigenous Māori or Pacific student. Dare to Dream scholarships are intended for students from low-income households - i.e. "backgrounds in which they would usually not even dare to dream of a world class education like that offered by UWC".
(We tend to think a fair amount of education in Aotearoa is "world class", so no shade on anyone's current school - it's just a different thing from UWC).
Other scholarships and places will also available open to any candidate - we'll know which UWCs to in November.
---UWC makes education a force to unite peoples, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future---
