University of Otago Opportunities

The scholarship is assessed automatically when an eligible student applies for admission; no separate scholarship application is required. The award provides a partial rebate of tuition fees during the first 12 months of study. The current Semester 1 round closes 10 December 2026.

Applicants must be international students holding a valid passport from Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand or Vietnam; meet entry requirements for one of Otago's listed eligible taught master's programmes; normally have at least a New Zealand B-equivalent grade average; and intend to study full-time on campus. Students directly sponsored under certain government fee-payment arrangements are not eligible.
