New Zealand’s connections with Asia and Latin America are set to receive a boost with the announcement of 114 individual recipients of the Prime Minister’s scholarships for Asia and Latin America over the next year, Acting Chief Executive for Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), Linda Sissons announced today.
The latest round will see scholarship recipients heading to destinations including Japan, Korea, Malaysia, China, India, Viet Nam, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Chile for study and internship programmes. The individual scholarships follow the group scholarships awards of earlier this year which saw 14 groups of New Zealanders travelling to study in Asia and Latin America.
Scholarships have been awarded to recipients from a wide range of regions from around New Zealand, including Rotorua, Taupo, Gisborne, Hastings, Feilding, Tauranga, Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Palmerston North, Christchurch, Dunedin, Riwaka and Oamaru.
“The Prime Minister’s Scholarships offer a fantastic opportunity for New Zealanders to foster lifelong connections as they learn and grow their understanding of cultures and business practices across Asia and Latin America”, Acting Chief Executive for Education New Zealand, Linda Sissons said.
“The scholarships are awarded to enable recipients to undertake a range of global study opportunities, from language learning and exchange study to internships.
“Over the next year, recipients will embark on semester exchanges, medical electives, language immersion and indigenous integration programmes, internships, and research projects in areas such as architecture and healthcare engineering.
“The scholarships continue to enable a rich exchange of knowledge, ideas and culture for New Zealanders through reciprocal study opportunities and increase global understanding of the strength and quality of our education system”.
A full list of recipients of this individual round can be found here.

About the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia and Latin America
The Prime Minister’s Scholarship programme aims to strengthen New Zealand’s ability to engage with Asian and Latin American trading partners, improve the internationalisation of New Zealand tertiary institutions, showcase the strength and quality of New Zealand's education system and grow inter-cultural awareness and connections between New Zealand and other countries.
The scholarships offer flexible funding to support both short- and long-term programmes, including study abroad or exchange, internships, postgraduate study, and language programmes.
The Prime Minister’s Scholarships are funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.
The Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia (PMSA) were launched in 2013 and extended to Latin America (PMSLA) in 2016. To date, 4,155 scholarships have been awarded under the programme.
There are two scholarship rounds each year, and applications for the next scholarship round will be open to group applicants in March 2024. Many scholarship recipients are enrolled in tertiary institutions across New Zealand, but this is not a requirement for the scholarship. Any New Zealand citizen or permanent resident over 18 years old can apply for a scholarship.

New enrolment guide for students
Enrolment information has been the second-most requested content on SiNZ social media channels, so ENZ has created an enrolment guide to sit on the SiNZ website.
The guide has two sections: how to apply to study at a primary, secondary or English language school, and how to apply to study at a tertiary institution.
Lucia Alarcon, ENZ International Digital Project Manager, says the guide provides step by step information on the enrolment process for each of these levels of study.
“We’ve included brief information about application procedures, including required documents, application fees, interviews and English language assessments.
“We make it clear that the information is a general guide only, with procedures varying between institutions.”
The enrolment guide is part of ENZ’s new 5 Steps to Studying in New Zealand process, which breaks up the study abroad journey to help students understand how to get started.
The 5 Steps encourage students to check out the practical content we’ve added to SiNZ in recent months. Along with the enrolment guide, the new content includes our Cost of Living and Explore NZ pages.

Rise in international students rating New Zealand experience positively
In the 2024 International Student Experience Survey, students lifted their positive rating of their experience to 86 percent, two percent higher than the previous year.
In addition, the number of students who rated their experience as “excellent” lifted eight percent to 41 percent.
The results were announced today at the international education sector conference, NZIEC KI TUA, which was organised by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ).
Commenting on the survey results, ENZ Acting Chief Executive Dr Linda Sissons said the results demonstrate the high quality of the New Zealand education experience both inside and outside the classroom.
“That we have a significant increase in the number of students rating their overall New Zealand experience as excellent is something to be celebrated. The results are a reassuring testament to the ongoing recovery of the sector and our ability to deliver international students what they highly value in a study destination.
“We are delighted to see how positive students are about the people they meet and connections they form in New Zealand. This speaks strongly to the enriching ties these students will have to our country in the long run, and how we will benefit and learn from each other,” Dr Sissons said.
2024 sees the highest proportion of international students (41 percent) rating their overall New Zealand experience as ‘excellent’, up from 33 percent in 2023. This proportion is higher than any of the previous three surveys undertaken. This year also includes a much larger sample of 6,431 students compared to 4,755 students last year.
Students were most positive about the people and connections they experienced in New Zealand (90%), followed by education experience (87%), making study arrangements (87%), arrival and orientation (85%), and living experience (83%).
Students also positively rated their experience using an education agent, particularly their agent’s knowledge of their education provider’s application process (84%), New Zealand application options (81%) and how using an education agent reduced the time taken to complete their application (79%).

The survey also aims to understand where improvements can be made to enhance the international student experience.
International students across all sectors and all stages of the student journey were invited to participate in this online survey. Fieldwork for this survey was conducted from 10 May to 4 June 2024 and included 6,431 respondents representing over 100 nationalities.

Update from Immigration New Zealand
New Immigration New Zealand website now live
The new Immigration New Zealand (INZ) website is now live, with clearer information and guidance to help INZ customers navigate their immigration journey more easily.
The new visual design and structure makes it easier for customers to know what the visa process means for them and how to apply for a visa and comply with their visa conditions.
Visit the new INZ website.Apply early to get ahead of the student visa peak
Applying for a student visa at least three months before intended travel date gives students the best chance to have a decision made in time for their study.
The processing of student visas is a priority for INZ, particularly as it gets closer to peak times.
Immigration New Zealand is in the mid-year student visa processing peak, which is between May and August each year.
Applications take longer to be decided during this peak period, so it is important that students apply early if they want to come to New Zealand to study.
Wait times for international student visa applications are published in our visa wait times section.
Help us process applications faster
To help INZ process applications quicker and avoid unnecessary delays, students should provide full and complete applications, including all necessary documentation.
Students can use our student visa information sheets to make sure their application has all the information and documentation required.
Student visa information sheet – first-time international students
Student visa information sheet – continuing international students
If students apply late, their application may not be processed in time for their study in New Zealand.
Due to the high volume of visa applications expected, we will not contact students if documents are missing from their application. If the missing information is key to the assessment, then the application may be declined.
Student visas moving to enhanced Immigration Online
From 18 August 2025, international student visa applications are moving to Immigration New Zealand’s enhanced Immigration Online system.
The aim is a simpler, faster and more user-friendly visa application process to reduce waiting times, provide clear communication on application statuses, and increase self-service capabilities so everyone feels more informed and better supported.
How applications during this transition will be managed
As we are in a peak period for student visa applications, we encourage applicants to submit applications when they are ready, and at least 3 months ahead of the intended travel date to help avoid delays that may impact them starting their study on time.
There are some important things applicants need to know if they are submitting an international student visa application around August 2025.
If applicants start a new draft application on or before 17 August, they will be applying in our current system. They will need to submit the application by 17 September, otherwise the draft application will expire.
If they start an application on or after 18 August, they will be automatically directed to our new system.
Please read our news item for more detailed information on the visas affected and the transition process.

Survey highlights growing “engagement gap” between international student expectations and institutional response
One in three prospective students say they abandoned an application to a university because of communication issues. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, institutions must quickly and meaningfully engage with students across a widening field of channels.

Why Asian universities can no longer overlook trade deals
As trade negotiations increasingly shift away from goods and tariffs to encompass talent mobility, ecosystems of innovation and skills creation, universities are quietly finding themselves at the nexus of economic policy and labour change.

The greatest risk of AI in higher education isn't cheating - it's the erosion of learning itself
Public debate about artificial intelligence in higher education has largely orbited a familiar worry: cheating. But focusing so much on cheating misses the larger transformation already underway, one that extends far beyond student misconduct and even the classroom.
