Year 12 and 13 Boarding Bursary

The Year 12 and 13 Boarding Bursary is offered by Rural Women New Zealand to assist secondary school students living away from home in a boarding situation with financial assistance. The bursary provides $900 per year for one year to help Year 12 or 13 students who are New Zealand citizens and living in boarding arrangements. Applicants must demonstrate financial need through a letter from a parent or caregiver, and provide supporting documentation including a letter from their principal or current teacher, academic records, and a character reference from a responsible non-family member. This bursary aims to support rural students who need to board away from home to access secondary education.
