Funding for the New Zealand Commonwealth Scholarships to developing countries is provided by the New Zealand government aid agency, NZAID.

Scholarships are available for either Masters or doctoral level study.

In the case of Masters study, awards may be tenable for up to two years, with a possibility of a three month extension.

In the case of doctoral study, the maximum length is four years. Approximately 10-20 new awards are made each year.

There is no restriction to the students intended field of study, but courses with higher than normal fees (i.e. MBA) might not be supported under a Commonwealth scholarship.

New Zealand Commonwealth Scholarships are available in all disciplines, but preference will be given to candidates who nominate fields of study relevant to the development of their home country.
