Study abroad scholarship
FeaturedA New Zealand Government scholarship for master's study, prioritising agriculture, renewable energy, public administration and disaster resilience. Recipients commit to returning home to work.
New Zealand — Full award: tuition, living allowance, airfare, insurance and an establishment allowance
Manaaki is a New Zealand government award for citizens of partner countries, covering the full cost of a master degree at New Zealand universities.
Selection follows development priority areas and a commitment to contribute on return, so the return plan carries real weight rather than being a formality.
What the fund pays for. Exact amounts can change each round — check against the announcement for the open round.
Conditions published by the fund. Missing any one of these usually means rejection at the procedural stage, before the file reaches the selection panel.
Citizens of a listed partner country, living there at the time of application.
Usually at least two years, with evidence of role and impact.
The chosen field must sit within the development priorities published for Vietnam.
Recipients commit to working at home for at least two years after graduation.
The documents usually required. Each round has its own official list published by the fund, so check again before submitting.
The language threshold is the first eligibility gate — the certificate must be valid at the time of submission. This is the part Wobridge Academy is responsible for and can measure.
Threshold required: IELTS 6.5 · Không kỹ năng nào dưới 6.0
Band 0.0 – 4.5
For complete beginners, or anyone rebuilding their English from the ground up before starting exam preparation.
What you study
The four steps below are what the centre does with you. The award decision rests with the fund panel — the centre cannot influence it, and does not promise on their behalf.
Take a placement test to measure the gap between your current level and the language threshold this award requires, then set a study plan around the months left before the deadline.
Follow the plan with regular mock tests so progress stays measurable. This is the part the centre is responsible for.
Read through essays, reference letters and transcript conversions before submission, checked against the document list the fund publishes for the open round.
Submit on time through the fund portal, then record the application number and response milestones. The award decision rests with the fund panel.
Keep it concrete and checkable: name a problem in your current work, the knowledge gap behind it, and what you would do differently after study. A generic plan is where this award loses the most points.
No. The certificate must be valid at the time of submission, and most funds reject incomplete files. Test early so there are enough months left to train.
The centre teaches the language and reviews the file before submission. Essays and reference letters must still be your own — panels recognise ghost-written work quickly.

All eight New Zealand universities run their own funds for first-year international students, assessed on high school results. Amounts and application routes vary by institution.
Book a consultation to measure your current level, compare it against the threshold this award requires, then count backwards from the deadline.
