NZIIU is an incorporated charitable trust approved by the Ministry of Education to promote international understanding through overseas student exchange. Our quality host family homestay programmes have been operating for over 20 years and in that time thousands of young people have experienced educational and cultural exchanges between New Zealand and other countries.
We currently have students in France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy, Argentina, USA and Brazil.
We are delighted to announce that Michael Koenen from Mt Albert Grammar School, Aeron Corlett from Wellington High School and Zsofi Csepscenyi from Green Bay High School have all been awarded scholarhips for January 2010. The announcement was made very late in September. They will be travelling with Amber Hosking to begin their German odyssey.
Congratulations to Amber Hosking of Dunedin’s Queens High School who has been awarded a full scholarship to Germany for 2010! The value of this is a little under 4000 Euros and means that Amber will have to find only an airfare and pocket money.
The scholarships are provided by our German affiliate Experiment EV and are offered worldwide. Last year three of the twelve scholarships were awarded to NZ students and two of them are still in Germany.
Experiment EV have commented favourably on the high quality of the shortlisted applications and would like to be able to provide assistance to all of these students. The full range of scholarships will not be completed until mid September and we are hoping to attract at least one more for another worthy student on our shortlist.
Several have already been awarded for exchanges in 2010 but we still have money available. The scholarships apply to any length of exchange in any country. They are needs-based, worth $2000 to $4000 and the application process is simple. If you want to know more ask Ian ian@nziiu.co.nz.
We are pleased to announce that our fees to Japan have been lowered due to improvements in the exchange rate. To view them, check the Investment link on the Japan page.
