Welcome to the home of Manaaki New Zealand scholarships.

Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships help build prosperity, security, and sustainable growth in partner countries and fosters a lifetime connection to Aotearoa New Zealand and the leaders of tomorrow.

Recipients of a Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship build life-long connections to each other and to Aotearoa New Zealand while gaining a globally recognised education, and authentically New Zealand experience, and the tools to help their countries achieve the futures they deserve.

The Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme aims to enhance the mana of partner countries and Aotearoa New Zealand through manaakitanga - the act of hosting, supporting and honouring manaaki scholars.
