2027 Keystone Trust School Leaver Scholarship applications now live!

Y13s: Intending to study a property- or construction-related degree? Facing financial challenges or difficult circumstances? This scholarship might be 4u

Woohoo, completed applications are already coming through.  As we head into the July break, now is the time to encourage eligible students to start their applications for our 2027 Study Award and the C3 Construction School Leaver scholarships.  

To be eligible for a school leaver scholarship, students need to demonstrate they are:

  • New Zealand citizens or have permanent resident status

  • Facing financial challenges or difficult circumstances

  • On track to achieve University Entrance

  • Able to use good written and verbal communication skills

  • Intending to enrol at a tertiary institution in New Zealand to study a property- or construction-related degree (like architecture, construction, engineering, planning, property management, real estate, quantity surveying or valuation)

  • Passionate about their chosen course and future career

Before a student starts their application, they need to make sure they have the following supporting documents to attach.  

They can use the holidays to research, request and compile these documents:

  • Record of achievements for year 11 and 12 (NCEA records and most recent school report)

  • Reference from the principal and another reference (not a family member)

  • Details of financial and personal circumstances (ie parents/caregivers’ income details, WINZ/IRD statements, payslips of their own if they work part-time)

  • Head and shoulders photograph of themselves (please consider the appropriateness of the photograph ie: not a ball photograph)

  • Please ensure all documentation is provided in PDF portrait format

A student can complete Part I of the application process and if they don’t have all the necessary supporting documentation, they can save all their contact information at that step. Once they press ‘save’, students will receive an email with the link that will take them back to their application so they can resume.  They need to save that email as the system will not allow them to make multiple applications.  

Students have until 1 September this year to complete their application.
