WHY SCHOLARSHIPS
Creating impactful futures
At academyEX, we believe higher education should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’re offering a range of 50% tuition scholarships for domestic students in our 2025 Master’s programmes. Each year, we award $500,000 NZD in scholarships.
Our Tangata Whenua and Pacific Ako scholarships support Māori and Pacific learners—two of the most underrepresented groups in postgraduate education in Aotearoa New Zealand—by breaking down financial barriers to new opportunities.
For those ready to explore a new direction, the Career Change Scholarship has you covered. We also offer the Taipakeke scholarship for people aged 60 years and over, proving it’s never too late to refresh your skills and thrive in a changing world.
Our Impact Scholarship is designed to give people who are already focused on making positive change, the skills and new knowledge needed to amplify their mahi, to make it bigger and make it lasting.
Many think they won’t qualify—but most do! Reach out and let’s see how we can help you take the next step in your learning journey.
