The New Zealand University Bursary or Bursary was New Zealand's standard secondary school leaving qualification gained at the end of NZ Form VII (= UK Upper Sixth Form). This name also refers to the examinations for the same award. The examination's original purpose was to determine bursary winners to New Zealand universities.
From 1989 to 2003 the Entrance Scholarships which before 1989 were awarded by a separate examination normally taken by brighter students, was awarded to the top 3-4% Bursars.
From 1998 to 2003 were named officially the University Entrance, Bursaries and Scholarships Examination, to refelct their use in awarding entrance to NZ Universities and scholarships in addition to bursaries.
To gain a Bursary, an aggregate score of at least 250/500 out of the best five subjects must be achieved. Candidates who fail Bursary (ie not gain a monetary award) can have their Bursary examination scores count toward University Entrance provided their subjects scored at least 46% (an Entrance credit pass).
This qualification was awarded by the New Zealand Universities Entrance Board until 1990 and then was awarded by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority until the Bursary's abolition in 2003. The University of New Zealand has never awarded this "NZ University Bursary" as such though it has awarded other bursaries for study.
Bursaries and Loans are advertised in the Calendar, Part 2 and can be divided into two main groups, namely, bursaries/ loans advertised by private companies and bursaries/loans offered by the University.
All proposed awards of bursaries for the new year are submitted to the Bursaries and Loans Committee for approval at its earliest meeting of the year.
In the case of merit awards and of bursaries / bursary loans for local full-time study which are received and administered by the University, the University transfers the monies concerned into the holders' student fees accounts.
The nursing bursaries provide financial assistance to students during their education programs and, in return, provide Saskatchewan residents with an adequate supply of registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses and licensed practical nurses.
Upon graduation, bursary recipients are required to provide a specific period of service in a publicly funded position in Saskatchewan.
Bursary assistance is payable in two equal installments in September and January.
