The ANZ Singapore-New Zealand Scholarship Programme offers students from Singapore the opportunity to study and work in one of the most diverse cultures in the Asia Pacific region, gaining unique experiences and insights to build on their global view of the world.
Students with aspirations to work in Banking and Finance will benefit from understanding New Zealand's economic innovation and creativity. New Zealand was ranked Top 3 in the world as a most developed country in 2010.
Apart from the opportunity to study and live in a new culture and business environment, the scholarship also provides a paid internship with ANZ New Zealand, one of New Zealand's largest banking organisations.
ANZ aspires to be a super regional bank, connecting consumer and investment businesses across Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific. The scholarship program will provide undergraduate or post-graduate students with the opportunity to develop their potential and equip them with skills to be regional leaders.
Scholarship award and what it covers
This is a jointly-funded Programme between ANZ New Zealand and ANZ Singapore. Each ANZ country will contribute two Scholarships per annum. Each Scholarship consists of NZD 15,000 provided to each Scholarship student. The Scholarship is for one semester or up to five months per term.
Internship opportunity
ANZ will offer each student a three-month paid Internship. The Internship can be taken before or after the Scholarship semester or term, but the preference is for the Internship to be taken after the semester or term, close to the graduating year.
Employment
The Internship agreement will include the first option by ANZ to employ the student upon graduation on normal employment terms subject to availability of positions.
ANZ reserves the right to request Scholarship reimbursement if the student defaults on the agreement.
