NZQA Scholarship Exams

NZQA New Zealand Scholarship Exams

NZ Scholarship exams provide recognition and monetary reward to top students in a subject.  They are externally assessed exams run by NZQA and are designed to challenge the most capable Level 3 candidates.  They are not a qualification and do not earn credits but they will appear on a student’s Record of Achievement.  NZ Scholarships are awarded to approximately the top 3% of participating candidates in each subject.

Students will be identified as potential Scholarship candidates by their teachers based on their academic performance and potential in a subject, students may inquire whether they would be suitable for entry.  Additional work and a study programme would be implemented to prepare for the exams.
