Update: Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia and Latin America programme

ENZ will continue to support current recipients of the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia and Latin America programme to June 2026. The programme was discontinued, and its funding reprioritised in the latest Government Budget 2025. The decision to discontinue the programme is in line with the Government’s priority to deliver effective and fiscally sustainable public services and the need to focus on core activities in the current constrained fiscal environment. The change takes effect from 1 July 2025. The decision will not impact any of the scholarships’ current recipients or recipients of the final group round, who were confirmed in June. ENZ will continue to support current recipients, including those who are yet to travel overseas to 30 June 2026.
