PURPOSE
The aim of the Massey University College of Humanities and Social
Sciences International Excellence Scholarships, (“the Scholarship”) is
to attract highly capable new international students with demonstrated
academic excellence to study full time in a College of Humanities and
Social Sciences undergraduate or postgraduate programme.
The Scholarship will be based on academic merit at the discretion of
the selection committee.
The Scholarship is valued at NZD $5,000 for each 120 credits enrolled,
for the total credit value of the Programme.
• Undergraduate Programme maximum:
NZD $20,000 (4-year programme)
• Postgraduate Programme maximum:
NZD $10,000 (2-year programme)
The total number of new scholarships to be awarded each year
is subject to the approval by the College of Humanities and Social
Sciences Executive Group.
ELIGIBILITY
1. Applicants must be new to Massey University.
2. The recipient must meet all programme admission requirements.
3. The recipient must be enrolled in an eligible undergraduate or
postgraduate programme (excluding PhD) offered by the College of
Humanities and Social Sciences.
4. Recipients must be enrolled as “internal” students (who take
courses delivered by either Internal or Block mode).
5. Continuation of the scholarship payment is subject to the recipient
remaining in an eligible programme, and maintaining the required
Grade Point Average (GPA) after the first and subsequent years.
6. For the purpose of this scholarship, the academic merit is assessed
as an admissions Grade Point Average, determined by Massey
University.
7. Applicants who are already enrolled in a Massey University
partner institution’s articulation programme and seeking advanced
standing or credit transfer, are not eligible for this Scholarship.
INTERNATIONAL FEES
Applicants must remain full fee paying international students whilst
studying in their approved programme in New Zealand throughout the
duration of their study.
TERM
The Scholarship will be awarded for a term equivalent to the full-time
study period for the recipient’s programme, but subject to maximum

instalment payments after the first year.

one or two.

SOCIAL SCIENCES
VALUE
The Massey University College of Humanities and Social Sciences
International Excellence Scholarships is valued at NZD $5,000 per 120
credits enrolled, for up to the total credit value of the Programme.
PAYMENTS
The Scholarship will be awarded in installments as a tuition fee discount
in each semester of study following confirmation of enrolment, after
the official withdrawal without financial penalty (WMAR) date.
Instalments of the scholarship after the first year are dependent on the
recipient maintaining a certain Grade Point Average:
• For undergraduate study: a GPA of 5.0 (B average) must be
maintained
• For postgraduate study: a GPA of 6.0 (B+ average) must be
maintained
In the event that a recipient withdraws from the approved programme,
Massey University has the absolute discretion to determine whether all
or any part of the Scholarship shall be refunded to Massey University.
The Scholarship is not transferrable should the recipient withdraw from
Massey University or change their programme of study to one not offered
by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Massey University.
CONDITIONS OF STUDY
Recipients must be full-fee-paying international students, who are
neither citizens nor permanent residents of New Zealand or Australia.
(If, during the tenure of an award, a recipient’s immigration status
changes so that he or she is no longer a full-fee paying international
student and thereby obtains a partial refund of academic fees from the
University, the award will be withdrawn).
CO-TENURE
The Scholarship may be held in conjunction with other Scholarships or
Awards, so long as those Scholarships or Awards are not from Massey
University and they permit co-tenure.
CONCESSIONS
At the discretion of Massey University, the terms and conditions of
the Scholarship may be modified in special circumstances or to avoid
hardship to any recipient.
ADMISSION
An offer of a College of Humanities and Social Sciences International
Excellence Scholarship is not an offer of admission to Massey
University, nor does it imply approval of enrolment in a programme at
Massey University.
SELECTION
The Award will be based on academic merit at the discretion of the
selection committee.
A selection committee will be appointed by the College of Humanities
and Social Sciences Executive Group to assess all applications.
Applicants will be notified whether or not they have been awarded the
Scholarship as soon as possible after the application deadline.
New Zealand permanent residents and
citizens are NOT eligible to apply.
