Overview
The Asia New Zealand Foundation (Asia:NZ) Travel Grants to Japan are open to students studying at undergraduate level at a New Zealand tertiary institution who have been accepted on an exchange programme to Japan. These grants are a contribution towards travel costs to Japan.
The objectives of the Asia:NZ Travel Grants to Japan are to:
- Encourage students to participate in an international exchange to Japan
- Provide assistance to students to meet basic travel costs
- Increase the number of New Zealand students studying in Japan
- Increase international linkages between New Zealand and Japan
- Contribute to the academic programme of students by helping them gain short-term access to some of the best academic and educational institutions in Japan
Eligible Candidates
To be eligible for an Asia:NZ Travel Grant to Japan, students must meet the following criteria:
1. Be a NZ citizen or permanent resident
2. Be enrolled in a undergraduate degree programme at a NZ tertiary institution
3. Be aged between 18 and 25
4. Be accepted by their home institution and their destination institution for participation in an exchange to Japan
5. Have completed at least one semester of full-time study at the time of application
6. Have a good academic record
7. Have a demonstrated interest in learning or developing their Japanese language skills and increasing their understanding of Japanese culture
Value
The value of the travel grant is $1,500. Up to five grants are available per year.
Selection criteria
Students will be selected on:
• Demonstrated academic merit (minimum B average)
• Demonstrated strong interpersonal and leadership skills (e.g. community service/outreach)
• Ability to adapt to different environments
• Interest in furthering New Zealand-Asia relations
Selection process
Application deadline is 5pm, Monday 3 May 2010. Shortlisted applicants will be assessed by a selection panel. There will be no interview. Successful candidates will be required to join the Asia New Zealand Foundation’s Young Leaders Network (if they are not already a current member). More information about the Young Leaders Network can be found on the website, www.asianz.org.nz/our-work/young-leaders.
Terms and Conditions
Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate qualification both at the time of application and throughout the period of study abroad.
Students who return home or abandon their study abroad may be required to repay the Asia:NZ Travel Grant to Japan.
Applicants must be participating in a formal exchange programme for which there is a signed, formal student exchange agreement between the destination and home institutions.
Recipients must begin their study abroad in the term or semester for which the award was made (no extended holidays or working holidays prior to beginning study).
Students who have been awarded an Asia:NZ Travel Grant to Japan in a previous r
ound and have then deferred their exchange, will need to reapply to be reconsidered in the next round. Students are only eligible to receive the award once and will not be considered if they are accepted for a second exchange period. Grant recipients are allowed to hold other scholarships in addition to the Asia:NZ Travel Grant to Japan.
Recipients are expected to return to their home institutions for at least one semester after the period of exchange or study abroad finishes, unless the study abroad leads to the completion of their qualification.
Recipients are required to prepare a report for Asia:NZ at the completion of their exchange, on the outcomes and benefits of their experience in Japan, as well as an article in a format suitable for publication on the Asia:NZ website.
