Business Postgraduate International Exchange Scholarship

Business Postgraduate International Exchange Scholarship

The AUT Business School, in conjunction with a generous donation from a family trust, is pleased to be able to offer a scholarship to enable postgraduate Business students to undertake an international exchange at a business school at an international partner business school. The aim of the Business International Exchange Scholarship is to offer assistance to students when, due to financial circumstances, it would be difficult for them to undertake an exchange.

AMOUNT AND TYPE OF AWARD

• There are two Postgraduate International Exchange Scholarships offered per semester to students currently studying in a postgraduate programme in the Business School.
• The scholarship consists of $5,000 for each recipient to be used to support the travel and accommodation costs associated with their approved international exchange.

TENURE

• The tenure of this scholarship is for one semester or may be allocated across two semesters upon approval from the Business School Associate Dean International.

All applicants for these scholarships must:

• Be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents.
• Be enrolled full-time in a postgraduate programme in the AUT Business School.
• Demonstrate a satisfactory academic record with a minimum B grade average.
• Be accepted for an international exchange by an AUT Business School approved business school partner
