Gaining a scholarship - whether undergraduate or postgraduate - may mean you don't have to find part-time work, giving you more time to focus on your education.
Many scholarships for international students - including PhD scholarships and scholarships for Master's degrees - are offered by the New Zealand Government, other governments, educational institutions and philanthropists.
Increase your chances of success by finding a scholarship that matches your qualifications and by allowing yourself plenty of time to apply.
If you're not able to gain a scholarship, remember that New Zealand is a value-for-money destination that allows you to offset your costs by working while you study.
