Eligibility for Scholarship Monetary Awards

1 August 2008 - SC2008/001

Information on the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) website relating to Scholarship Monetary Awards has been updated to clarify the minimum requirements candidates must meet to be considered for a monetary award.

There has been no change to the rules around Scholarship eligibility.

It is important to note that numbers for both the Outstanding Scholar Award and Premier Award are restricted, and that achieving the minimum requirement will not guarantee receipt of a monetary award.

The updated table can be found in the Assessment and Certification Rules and Procedures as Section 6.3.2 Scholarship: Monetary Awards.

Ranking

For both the Outstanding Scholar Award and Premier Award, all candidates meeting the minimum requirements are ranked according to the criteria set by the external advisory group to determine where the threshold for monetary award will be. As there are upper limits to the number of candidates who may receive a monetary award, the threshold above which these awards will be made may differ from year to year.

Premier Awards

For your information, the current order of priority for identifying Premier Award winners within the specified requirements (5 to 10 total awards), as approved by the external advisory group, is:

Outstanding Scholar Awards

The current order of priority for identifying Outstanding Scholar Award winners, within the specified requirements (40 to 60 total awards), as approved by the external advisory group, is:
