Prime Minister's Scholarships for Asia help students from New Zealand and India to showcase a unique cross-cultural collaboration
The students travelled to India and for five weeks, worked with local students from Indian fashion powerhouse Pearl Academy and artisans from Kala Raksha, an NGO in Kutch, Western India. Collectively they produced a collection of garments, which reflected a philosophy from the past to everyday life. The work helped students and artisans to develop an understanding of different cultural values and ability to think creatively and collaboratively.

Update from Immigration New Zealand
Student Visa Update: Apply early with our new online forms
Planning to study in New Zealand in 2026?
Immigration New Zealand’s peak visa processing period runs from October to March, so it’s important to apply early to avoid delays - ideally at least three months before you travel.
On 18 August, applications for the following student visa types transitioned to Immigration New Zealand’s enhanced Immigration Online system:
- English Language
- Exchange Student
- Fee Paying Student
- Pathway Student
- NZ Government Scholarship Student
- Foreign Government Supported Student
Applications submitted on the old form on or before 17 August will still be processed. Applicants can continue to upload documents and respond to requests until a decision is made. Draft applications on the old system must be submitted on or before 17 September, after that all applications must be submitted through enhanced Immigration Online. Paper applications will no longer be accepted from 18 September.
We’ve redesigned the application process to make applying faster, easier, and more transparent. Applicants will get real-time updates, email notifications, and clearer guidance throughout the process. The form itself is dynamic, only showing sections and asking questions relevant to their situation. It also includes guidance and prompts to support you through the process.
For help with the online form, visit our Applying Online help page, or contact Immigration New Zealand.
