About
Quick answer: Lincoln University’s 180-credit Taught Master Merit Scholarship knocks NZ$7,000 to NZ$15,000 off tuition for international students entering its taught Master’s programmes — and the best part is there is no separate application: Lincoln assesses every qualifying international applicant automatically when processing admission.
The tiers: NZ$15,000 for an A average entering business programmes (Global Management & Marketing, Finance, Fintech & Investment Management, Professional Accounting); NZ$10,000 for a B+ average in those and the management Master’s (Agribusiness, Parks/Recreation, Sport, Tourism); NZ$7,000 for a B+ average in science, environment and computing Master’s degrees. Because it is automatic, there is no deadline — any blog quoting one is guessing.
Eligibility

- Minimum B+ average in the final year of your Bachelor’s degree (A average for the top NZ$15,000 business tier).
- No application form — the award is offered automatically with qualifying admission offers.
