Applications are open to secondary school leavers or those who are entering tertiary study (eg: university or polytechnic) for their first year of study to an approved course.

Our Study Awards are specifically for those who have challenging life and financial circumstances for whom study would be difficult without assistance. An approved course of study can be found in the list below, however, as a general statement, we support study towards a property or construction related degree in New Zealand.
