Purpose of award

Victoria Law School Leaver Scholarships provide financial support to New Zealand’s brightest young students, who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend university. This scholarship programme has been established to ensure Victoria’s Faculty of Law continues to attract the very best students who represent the diversity of New Zealand society.

Scholarships for study in 2019 for first year students are awarded on the basis of academic merit, equity considerations and financial hardship. These scholarships will be awarded at a value of $5,000.

Note: $2,500 will be awarded in the first year, with the remaining $2,500 awarded upon acceptance and enrolment in second year Law (a minimum enrolment of 2 x 200 level LAWS courses).
