MANILA – The New Zealand government will open applications for its Manaaki scholarships starting Feb. 1, the New Zealand Embassy in Manila announced Wednesday.

The prestigious Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships offers nationals from Asia Pacific countries, including Filipinos, the opportunity to pursue post-graduate degrees in New Zealand, commencing in early 2026.

Eligible applicants will get comprehensive support, including full tuition, living expenses, establishment allowance, medical and travel insurance; and round-trip airfare between the Philippines and New Zealand.

Funded through the New Zealand International Development Cooperation Programme, these scholarships had been providing opportunities to young leaders to drive change across priority areas including climate change, renewable energy, disaster risk management, and good governance.

For the 2024 cycle, a total of 16 Filipinos were selected for the scholarship and will begin their studies in New Zealand in 2025.

“Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships empower problem solvers, change-makers and highly capable individuals to pursue their potential to become leaders in their communities and countries. Scholars will gain a world-class education, an authentic New Zealand experience and the tools to help the Philippines achieve the future it deserves,” said New Zealand Ambassador to the Philippines Catherine McIntosh.

The online application portal will open at 12 a.m. (midnight) NZT on Feb. 1, 2025, and close at 12 p.m. (midday) NZT on Feb. 28, 2025.

The scholarships are open to eligible candidates from the public, private and civil society sectors.
