Applicants may apply from outside New Zealand but must have resided in New Zealand for at least three of the last five years immediately preceding the year of selection. Applicants will have recently completed the requirements for an honours degree in musical performance at a New Zealand university (or an equivalent musical qualification).

Value and number awarded:

The scholarship is available for up to two years according to the course of study. Continuation of the scholarship for a second year is dependent on a positive progress report from the institution where the scholar is studying and on approval from the Kia Ora Foundation.

Funds available for the scholarship are up to NZ$ 70,000 per annum.
