Tertiary Scholarship Application

ILT proudly supports today’s students; tomorrow’s leaders!

Our Tertiary Scholarship Programme has supported over 900 Invercargill students since its launch in 2007, with a total investment exceeding $5 million.

Each year, up to 65 of the city’s most promising students are selected to receive this scholarship, providing $2,000 annually for three years of full-time undergraduate study.

The selection process is rigorous, with candidates assessed on academic performance, community involvement, and future aspirations by an independent panel. This ensures that recipients not only excel in their studies but are also committed to making a positive impact on their community.

Applications open: 14th July 2025

Deadline: 5pm, Friday 15 August 2025

All eligible applicants will be invited to attend a 15-minute interview with ILT’s selection panel. Interviews will be conducted over a two-week period commencing early September at a venue to be advised.
