URL: Scholarships for students to attend private secondary schools
Applications have opened for the 2012 round of the Ministry of Education’s Aspire Scholarship, with at least 50 year 9 Aspire Scholarships available for 2012. The Aspire Scholarship is for students from low income families who would like to attend a New Zealand private secondary school. The scholarship contributes up to $15,000 a year for private secondary school tuition fees and up to $1,500 a year for course related costs, while the student is at that school. The scholarship does not cover boarding fees and cannot be used at state or state-integrated schools.
