Palmerston North Scholarships

Palmerston North currently has nine scholarships available for students. Several of which are open to all UCOL students on all three campuses. Application forms are individualised for each scholarship. Each scholarship has a given criteria and is assessed accordingly. The High Achievers Awards and the Andrew Cliff Award are driven by staff nomination.

 

Application forms can be requested from ScholarshipPN@ucol.ac.nz or picked up at Hub Central, Block 6, Palmerston North Campus.

 

The selection of a recipient is made by a panel of four people consisting of: a member of the Support Services staff, a lecturing staff member, an administrative staff member and a representative from the Students' Association.

 

An award ceremony is held towards the end of each semester to acknowledge successful students. The successful recipients agree to attend the award ceremony where they will be presented with a certificate and cheque.
