Kia ora Partners, Welcome to the University of Otago International Education Consultant Newsletter - 8 July 2024 - Scholarship Special EditionWith our new University of Otago brand launched in May, we have also launched an expanded suite of international scholarships and eVision scholarship application functionality.Please find below some important key messages for all education counsellors regarding these exciting scholarships. Note that onshore New Zealand international student instructions are further below. Please keep this information handy and share with your colleagues and wider team.You can find the summary of our Otago scholarship offer here.Commission is still paid on the full tuition fee valueScholarships are still good for you too! We pay commission based on the full tuition value, not the reduced scholarship value.Always select YES for scholarships!When prompted by the eVision question asking if the student would like to be considered for international scholarships, please always select yes on behalf of your student. This allows your student to be considered for the University of Otago Global Scholarships, the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarships for International Scholarships and Partnership Scholarships. If this question is not answered, or if the counsellor clicks ‘no’, then the student cannot be considered for any scholarship even if they were eligible. We need an active selection of ‘yes’ for our auditing requirements. Scholarships are good for you and your students – always select ‘YES’!You must ACCEPT the scholarship offer within the 2-week deadline.Most new offshore Bachelor degree international student applicants will be eligible for, and offered the Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship for International Students (NZ $10,000) OR the Global Scholarship (NZ $15,000 - for students from selected countries). The conditional or unconditional Offer of Place will indicate which scholarship your student is eligible for. This will then be followed by a separate Scholarship Outcome Notification (usually released on Fridays). You need to ACCEPT the scholarship offer within the two-week deadline from the notification being sent. As an agent, you can go to ‘All alerts’, click the scholarship notification, view the details and click the ACCEPT button for the scholarship.International Academic Excellence Scholarship (worth a further ~NZ $35,000) – not an automatic application, 2 weeks to apply, 2 weeks to acceptFor your top academic students to be considered for the prestigious International Academic Excellence Award, they must have selected ‘YES’ to be considered for international scholarships and have also accepted the first scholarship offer (of either the Vice Chancellor International or Global Scholarship, as relevant) within the two-week deadline.Once the first scholarship offer is accepted, you will be invited to apply to the International Academic Excellence Scholarship through eVision (the application portal). This involves a couple of additional questions to support the application and the opportunity to upload any other relevant academic performance related evidence. The invitation to apply for this additional scholarship is only open for 2 weeks from the time you are invited (directly after accepting the Vice-Chancellor or Global Scholarship). An application must be completed to be considered for this scholarship.The International Academic Excellence Scholarship panel meets regularly, and scholarship decisions are made regularly. A formal notification of a successful scholarship outcome will be generated via eVision (these notifications generally come out on a Friday). As an education counsellor, you can check in your eVision agent portal, select all alerts, click on the scholarship notification, view the details and accept. There is a 2-week period to accept the International Academic Excellence Scholarship as well.TWO Accepts!: Accept scholarship(s) & accept offer of place!Please remember to actively accept a scholarship offer – remember there is a 2-week deadline to do so for each scholarship offer being made.Please also actively accept the conditional or unconditional Offer of Place as well.Accepting the scholarship and Offer of Place is not binding forever, but if you do not accept the scholarship or Offer of Place (or if you select 'no' to scholarships at the start), then the student misses out entirely on the scholarship opportunity at Otago.Deferred applications – say ‘Yes’ to scholarshipsApplications that were submitted prior to 1 May 2024, and/or which have been deferred to semester 1 2025 are required to actively say ‘yes’ to be re-considered for a relevant scholarship. This is once again connected to auditing requirements. You may receive communication from our admissions team asking you this question – please just confirm ‘yes’, otherwise your student cannot be considered for a scholarship for 2025.Partnership ScholarshipsThese scholarships are relevant for students coming through an established ‘articulation agreement’ (credit transfer, 2+2 type arrangement). To be considered, the counsellor needs to have selected ‘yes’ in eVision when prompted about being considered for international scholarships. This is not an unlimited scholarship, so a selection is made.Onshore NZ international students – different process! Scholarship deadline 15 AugustInternational students currently in a New Zealand high school or foundation studies programme have a different scholarship process. These students are eligible to apply for the University of Otago Undergraduate Entrance Scholarships – alongside their domestic peers.International onshore students must actively submit an active application following the instructions from here. Only one application is needed to be considered for a variety of scholarships and values. Aside from being an international student, attributes of leadership, sporting, cultural and community involvement are relevant to this scholarship programme.Onshore international students starting a Bachelor degree will generally be eligible to be awarded a scholarship value of NZ $10,000 towards tuition. Top academic students can also be considered for the Academic Excellence Award alongside their domestic peers – this is a competitive scholarship based on grades and valued at ~ $35,000. This means a potential total value of up to NZ $45,000 for first year students.Please ensure your onshore international students complete the Undergraduate Entrance Scholarship application before the deadline of 15 August. Results are made in early/mid October. If awarded a scholarship, this must be accepted in order to secure it.If you have additional questions or need help, please contact your Regional Market Manager.Ngā mihi nui - Kind regards,International TeamUniversity of Otago
