Welcome to NZIIU

NZIIU is an incorporated charitable trust approved by the Ministry of Education to promote international understanding through overseas student exchange. Our quality host family homestay programmes have been operating for over 20 years and in that time thousands of young people have experienced educational and cultural exchanges between New Zealand and other countries.

We currently have students in France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy, Argentina, USA and Brazil.

Start dates in August 2010 and January 2011

We are now accepting applications for this year’s round of scholarships to Germany. Our German affiliate is offering 6 full scholarships (half-year and year program) as well as 10 partial scholarships of 1,000 Euros each (2 and 3-month program). These are offered worldwide and NZ students have been awarded a high proportion of these in the last three years.

NZIIU currently has four students in Germany who were awarded these scholarships in 2010 as well as a further two who were awarded NZIIU scholarships.

The aim of these scholarships is to enable qualified students who are financially disadvantaged to participate in an exchange to Germany.

A full scholarship means that no fee will be charged for the programme but students will still have to find their airfare, pocket money and some other minor costs. With a partial scholarship, the usual programme fee is reduced by 1,000 Euros.

More information and application forms can be obtained by sending an e-mail to Ian Lambert ian@nziiu.co.nz.
