Top Scholar Awards 
Monetary awards for excellent performance will be based on results obtained 
within the year prior to the awards ceremony only. The awards are as 
follows:

New Zealand Scholars
These awards will be made to all candidates achieving outstanding 
performance in three New Zealand Scholarship subjects.

Top Overall Scholars
These awards will be made to the two top performers selected from all 
New Zealand Scholar award recipients. The awards panel will consider the 
rankings provided by the subject marking panels in candidates' best three 
Scholarship subjects only. 

Top Subject Scholar
This award is made to the best performer in a subject offered from:

Scholarship Assessment. The award will be made to the top candidate 
achieving outstanding performance using the ranked list provided by the 
marking panel. No award will be made in subjects where there are no 
eligible candidates. 
Level 3 Assessment (Subjects with achievement standards but no Scholarship 
standard being offered in that year). The award will be made to the top 
candidate achieving excellence in all externally assessed standards for 
that subject. For award purposes, marking panels will rank potentially 
eligible candidates. Candidates are advised that their internally assessed 
results may be taken into account. No award will be made in subjects where 
there are no eligible candidates. 
Applicants for compassionate consideration for level 3 achievement 
standards are not eligible for a Top Scholar Award, as the awards 
recognise actual performance ranked in a one-off assessment.

School Awards 
These awards are made to the top-performing student in each school who 
achieves the New Zealand Scholarship Certificate. The awards panel will 
identify candidates using the number of outstanding performance achievement
s and marker panel rankings. NZQA will notify schools with eligible 
candidates, and ask them to confirm the rankings and provide supplementary 
evidence in the case of a tie. 

Eligibility 
To be eligible to receive the award students must study in New Zealand at 
a New Zealand Tertiary Institution. An award is payable for up to three 
years for any type and length of qualification that is approved for student 
loan or student allowance purposes.

A recipient must be undertaking study that is more than 0.4 full-time 
equivalent. Exceptions will be considered only where there are reasons 
beyond the student's control, or where the completion of a qualification 
is involved.

Continued receipt of an award each year will be dependent on continued 
successful study. Recipients will generally take up study immediately. 
However, a recipient may apply to postpone commencing study for up to a 
year, with any payments under the awards being made only after enrolment 
is confirmed. Recipients may change the course or programme they undertake 
and continue to receive an award as long as they continue to successfully 
complete their study, when the new programme is approved for either student 
loans or student allowances purposes, and they study in New Zealand at a 
New Zealand Tertiary Institution.
