PwC Scholarships

All eligible applications are carefully reviewed, and successful applicants will be invited to an interview. Other applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application via email.

Transferring from one New Zealand tertiary institution to another will not affect your ongoing scholarship with PwC. However, you are required to inform us if you make a transfer.

If you apply for more than one grant or scholarship associated with your tertiary study, please let us know. 

Generally, a PwC scholarship may not be accepted in conjunction with another corporate scholarship. A decision will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Before you support someone with their scholarship application, please check whether they meet the eligibility criteria (see Who is eligible tab). 

Here are a few tips on how to support an applicant: 

• Proofread their CV 

• Encourage them to talk about their community involvement, extracurricular activities, leadership and teamwork experiences etc. 

• Help to reassure them if they’re not selected for a scholarship: it’s still a huge achievement that they applied and it’s great preparation for if they want to apply to us later (e.g. for our Summer Internship or Graduate Programme).

• Make sure the applicant provides accurate and current contact details; if an applicant is struggling to provide this information then please contact us - nz_pwc_scholarship@pwc.com.

Our scholarships are only open to students completing their final year of high school, including Year 12 students.

PwC is a multi-sector firm, providing service in various industries, markets, and practices to accommodate our clients' needs. We welcome students who study beyond the areas accounting, finance, or business and we encourage you to take the time to find out where you might fit.
