New brand identity of the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme launching next week
Education providers and suppliers who are part of the programme will be able to start using the new brand’s design assets from The ENZ BrandLab from 23 October.
The Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship website will also prominently showcase the refreshed brand from next week.
The new Manaaki logo consists of three parts. The tohu is on the left, the Manaaki wordmark is placed in the middle, with the Aotearoa New Zealand fernmark on the right-hand side.
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade - Manatū Aorere (MFAT) Scholarships Unit Manager, Alexandra Grace, said it was important for the new brand identity to reflect the transformational nature of Manaaki scholarships to build people’s skills and support them to contribute positively to their communities and countries.
“The new brand is an exciting step forward to unify the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme’s visual identity to appeal to prospective scholars who are most aligned with our Programme’s values,” Alexandra said.
He parirau is one of the key patterns of the new brand. It is inspired by the takarangi (spiral) and parirau (feathers).
The brand identity development and working group involved kaimahi Māori from MFAT, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao and Indigenous Design Innovation Aotearoa (IDIA) who gifted a specially crafted whakatauākī* for the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme.
The whakatauākī ‘He Parirau Toro Ao’ translates to ‘stretch your wings to the world’.
ENZ’s Senior Advisor, Rautaki Māori, Craig Rofe, said the whakatauākī is a profound taonga and gift to the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme.
“It beautifully anchors the programme in āhua Māori (Māori ways of being).”
“We are also pleased with how the whole process of creating the new brand has been steeped in āhua Māori. The way everyone involved in the project used whakawhanaungatanga – the specific act of getting to know one another before we started our work – and wānanga, coming together to meet, discuss and deliberate, every step of the way, made all the difference,” Craig said.

The new brand was developed following research and interviews with 29 scholars and alumni, and a survey covering 627 people.
The research surfaced three compelling principles for the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme – manaakitanga, empowering people, communities and countries, and fostering enduring connections.
ENZ’s Manaaki Scholarships Manager, Nancy Linton, said the concept of manaakitanga is integral to the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships Programme – not only by name, but also in the way that scholars are supported during their entire journey, from application and study to their return home.
“The manaaki we show our visitors by embracing them like part of our ‘whānau’ or family is visible in the way our educational providers extend that support to Manaaki scholars and alumni, who really value it as part of their study experience.
“I am pleased with the way we have incorporated this core element of the Programme, among others, into the new brand identity,” Nancy said.
A brand transition period is in place through 28 February 2025, to allow providers enough time to switch to new brand assets.
Visit The ENZ BrandLab to access new design assets for the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme after 24 October.
* Whakatauākī are proverbs where the person who said it first is known, as opposed to whakataukī, which are proverbs whose origin cannot be traced to a person.

Learn New Every Day – new global brand campaign launched to attract international students to New Zealand
The new campaign called Learn New Every Day, delivers a student’s point of view of the first-time experiences international students could encounter in a single day when they study with New Zealand.
ENZ’s General Manager of Marketing and Communication, Geoff Bilbrough, said that 'Learn New Every Day’ is designed to cut through in a very competitive market.
“We wanted to capture the essence of what it is really like to study with New Zealand, taking the perspective of a learner as they encounter new experiences, and convey the excitement and emotion as they go through their day.
“What makes the campaign more memorable is its high energy, positive, contemporary feel. And the first-person point of view approach is unique to the category,” Geoff said.
Geoff went on to say, “The scenes and scenarios in the campaign reflect our core values of a high-quality education and employability/future opportunities. These messages are woven through the campaign through imagery and action involving learners in a range of environments across all parts of New Zealand’s education sector, alongside the well-known adventure and social experiences. The featured imagery reflects what we know international students are looking for in a New Zealand education.”
Learn New Every Day was pre-tested and performed well in in-depth one-on-one interviews with students and parents from China, South Korea, India, and Viet Nam. Feedback was also sought from across New Zealand’s international education sector, who also responded positively to the concepts, their relevance to the young learner, and the clarity of the idea.
ENZ’s Global Brand Manager, Nick Sinclair, said that the campaign involved a mix of current international and domestic students from primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions.
“We had a wonderful time interacting with the international students while capturing these ‘first-experience’ scenes. They were really excited about the opportunity to take part in the decision-making process for other students and their parents as they choose their overseas study destination.
“The campaign communicates what we strongly believe is New Zealand’s competitive edge in the international education market. A New Zealand education experience is as much about the adventure, social experiences, and our unique culture and landscapes, as it is about the high-quality study opportunities that we offer”.
The campaign will run for at least 18 months. It is running initially in China, India, South Korea, Thailand, Viet Nam, and Japan targeting students aged 16 to 24 and their parents across all sectors including high school, university, Te Pūkenga, English language schools and private training establishments. Campaign assets include videos of various lengths, digital banners, and assets for the creation of off-line collateral such as banners, and other materials, in English and the local languages of our target countries.
As well as featuring across paid digital media in these countries, the campaign features on all 10 Study with New Zealand websites, in all communications with prospects that sign up to Study with New Zealand, and across all other ENZ channels.

Update from Immigration New Zealand – July 2026
Student visa processing – reminder to apply early
New Zealand continues to be a popular destination for international students, with INZ receiving around 20 percent more student visa applications so far in 2026 than during the same period last year.
The higher volume of applications, together with an increase in complex applications, means some may take longer to process.
Despite consistent messaging, INZ have also seen an increase in late applications with many applications submitted only one month before a student’s intended study start date.
Key reminders for students
Apply for a Student Visa at least 3 months before intended travel dates.
Submit a complete application with all required supporting documents.
Respond quickly if INZ requests additional information.
Check current visa wait times when planning applications and travel arrangements.
Students who apply close to their programme start date risk not having their visa decided in time.
If a student is concerned their visa may not be approved before their intended start date, they should speak to their education provider and discuss contingency arrangements.
INZ will continue to monitor application volumes and provide updates where needed.
For more information on wait times and student visa processing, visit the Immigration New Zealand website:
Student visa processing update – midyear intake and reminder to apply early
Improvements to the Pathway Student Visa
The Government has made changes to the Pathway Student Visa, giving international students greater flexibility in their study plans.
The changes provide more flexibility for secondary school students, support a wider range of lower-level study pathways, and allow more time for English language study.
For more information on the changes to the Pathway Student Visa, visit the Immigration New Zealand website: Improvements to the Pathway Student Visa.
Police certificates required upfront for student and temporary visas
Immigration New Zealand requires police certificates to be submitted at the time of application for student visas and other temporary visas.
Applications will generally be assessed based on the information provided at lodgement. If a police certificate is missing, the application may be declined. INZ will not usually contact applicants to request a missing police certificate.
What this means for students
Only apply once they have all required documents ready, including their police certificate.
Check police certificate processing times as these can vary between countries.
Applicants from Fiji, Hong Kong and Israel can continue to provide proof they have applied for a police certificate, as these certificates are sent directly to INZ by the issuing authority.
For more information about police certificates and the application process from within and outside of New Zealand, visit the Immigration New Zealand website: Police certificates required upfront for student and temporary visas.
