Scholarships

BreakOut is the most extensive online information collection of New Zealand scholarships, awards, and grants. The funding information is for students, researchers, sports people, artists and other individuals looking to fund their personal and professional development.

BreakOut lists over 3400 schemes that cover various areas of funding, and we add about five to ten new schemes to BreakOut every week. The funding listed on BreakOut comes from many sources, including universities, government departments, trusts, and businesses. Information is provided on eligibility criteria, closing dates, application processes, and funder contact details.

You can search BreakOut to find the best scholarships, awards, or grants for you. The database search results can be tailored to individuals by specific search criteria, such as ethnicity, gender, or disability. You can also search BreakOut alphabetically by the name of a scheme or by closing date.

BreakOut – Scholarships and Grants NZ is also on Facebook, which is a great place for people to give us feedback and ask questions.
