University of Waikato Scholarships 2025
School Leaver Scholarships for 2025 are open and close at 11:59 pm on Saturday 31 August. As there is still uncertainty about changes to the Government’s Fees Free policy for 2025, our Scholar[1]ships Team have updated the regulations for the five main school-leaver scholarships to accommodate different possible fees-free outcomes. In all cases, our students will receive the full value of the scholar[1]ship, dependent on them continuing to meet the usual ongoing eligibility requirements. The University’s Scholarship Finder provides quick-links to all key school-leaver scholarships.
