The New Zealand High Commission in Bridgetown has announced the upcoming round of applications for New Zealand Development Scholarships with 20 available to eligible Caribbean citizens.

Applications for study beginning in February 2020 open on Friday, 15 February, 2019.

Every year, New Zealand offers up to 20 scholarships to eligible Caribbean citizens to pursue world-class postgraduate academic programmes with a focus on climate change and resilience, food security and agriculture, renewable energy and disaster risk management.

Scholarship recipient Jamaican Andre Smith says he’s enjoying the experience so far.
“It’s a really great experience to come to New Zealand, to travel outside your own country, it takes you outside your comfort zone, but I’ve enjoyed it so far,” said Smith, who is studying environmental management.
