Foundation Scholars Programme

A select group of New Zealand’s brightest high-school students will be awarded one of The University of Auckland’s most prestigious academic honours - a Foundation Scholarship. The award recognises the students’ academic achievements and leadership potential and provides a full scholarship to attend the University for three to four years.

The Auckland University Foundation Scholars Programme was established to give maximum financial support to domestic and international students who demonstrate the highest academic achievements and leadership potential.  A goal of five scholarships will be awarded each year.  Each scholarship will run for a maximum of eight semesters and will provide tuition and fees, books, room and board, and personal expenses. In addition, Foundation Scholars qualify for a stipend of up to $3,500 in support for academic enhancement including travel, study abroad, internships, etc.
