Looking for further funding to support your study? The Generosity New Zealand Funding Information Service offers the
givME website http://apps.generosity.org.nz/givME (formerly BreakOut).
Please note that givME is a subscriber service; checking it from a ‘private’ computer can cost a lot!
We strongly recommend that you use a University of Waikato computer, as we pay a ‘blanket’ subscription.
If you don't have access to a University computer, access givME from a site that already pays a subscription, e.g. a
public library.
Tauranga students can also access the givME website from the University of Waikato campus in Tauranga.
Just log on using your student ID, go to the University of Waikato Scholarships website, select ‘Search for Scholarships’,
the ‘Other funding’ and click on ‘Generosity New Zealand”, and start answering the questions. Your answers will
shorten the list to those awards you might be eligible for (instead of all of the thousands on this amazing web-site!).
International students will find it particularly helpful that, under the section ‘This is also relevant to me’,
they can filter the list to show awards open to international students.
