Ministry of Education

Education.govt.nz is the new portal for education information in New Zealand, maintained by the Ministry of Education. The site is designed to help you find what you need about education in New Zealand. The main part of the site contains information organised around the three education stages: early learning, schooling, and further education. These sections contain a range of information and links to other sites and include general information, as well as more specialized topics for educators and administrators. The scholarship does not cover boarding fees. If a student chooses to board at a private boarding school, families may use their $1,500 course related costs allowance towards the costs of boarding but are otherwise responsible for any boarding costs. The scholarship can only be used at New Zealand's fully registered private secondary schools (also known as independent schools). It cannot be used at the state or state-integrated schools.
