Ara Foundation Outbound Exchange Grant

The Ara Foundation Outbound Exchange Grant supports Ara students to participate in an outbound student exchange with one of Ara's partner institutions. The programme provides opportunities for cultural immersion, academic development, and international experience. Grants up to $10,000 are available to students who are currently enrolled at Ara Institute of Canterbury and meet the requirements for the Outbound Student Exchange Programme. Five grants are awarded annually to enable students to study abroad at partner institutions during a specified semester. Students receiving this scholarship are required to act as Student Exchange Ambassadors upon return, sharing their experiences through photos, testimonials, information sessions, newsletters, and mentoring future applicants. This opportunity supports both academic and personal development through international educational experiences.
