Scholarship Value

The UHY Haines Norton Study Scholarships are three prizes of NZ$2,000 applied to course fees incurred at a registered New Zealand university towards an undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Studies qualification. There are three $2,000 scholarships to be awarded in 2022. The Scholarships are awarded as a one-off payment of NZ$2,000 when the recipient commences their study, and may only be used for course fees incurred towards an undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Studies qualification, or at UHY Haines Norton’s sole discretion.

The Scholarships are not transferable to any other individual, they are not redeemable for cash, they may not be transformed into cash, and they may only be used for course fees incurred towards an undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Studies qualification.

The Scholarships are valid for study commencing in 2023.

The Bachelor Of Commerce Or Bachelor Of Business Studies Qualification

The Scholarships are valid for an undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Studies qualification completed at any New Zealand registered university.  The specific subjects studied and majored within the degree are entirely up to the student to select.

Upon completion of the qualification, UHY Haines Norton agrees to assess their staff requirements and consider the Scholarship recipients for any suitable vacancies that may be present.  This may or may not include short-term work experience.  For the avoidance of doubt, any offer of employment will be dependent on UHY Haines Norton’s then-current staff requirements and nothing in these terms and conditions is to be taken as a guarantee of employment.
