Funding Round for international students opens


The International Student Wellbeing Strategy has been designed to protect and enhance New Zealand’s reputation as a safe and welcoming study destination.
Its vision is that all international students should feel that they are welcome, safe and well, enjoy a high quality education and are valued for their contribution to New Zealand.
Funding for one year projects to support the outcomes of the international student wellbeing strategy comes from the Export Education Levy.
Funding Applications
The theme for the 2019 funding round was chosen in response to feedback from international students and community organisations – that international students need more safety and mental health support.
The Funding Round Expressions of Interest (EOIs) that support this and should also contribute towards one or more of the outcomes of the strategy.
Your EOI should also demonstrate student involvement in the project (this could include student governance, participation or consultation). The International Student Wellbeing Strategy (ISWS) 2019 funding round is now open.
The funding round is seeking proposals that support the outcomes of the ISWS and contribute to the 2019 theme of ‘Improving International Student Safety and/or Mental Health.’
The Expressions of Interest are due on Friday, August 24, 2018.
Please email Jacob.middleton@education.govt.nz if you have specific questions on the ISWS funding round.
