BTI Scholarships

At BTI we are committed to others' success.  One of the ways in which we can contribute to this commitment is by offering scholarships to key stakeholders. The closing date for applications and supporting letters each year is 31st October.  Where applicable, scholarships will be awarded provisionally, pending NCEA result.  All scholarship recipients will be notified at least one week prior to the official start date of the programme.

If scholarship applicants are not self-funding study, we recommend that they apply for a student loan prior to the start of their study. For successful scholarship applcants, payments made to BTI from a student loan will be repaid directly to StudyLink by BTI.
