Am I allow to apply for more than one scholarship ?
Kia ora Huia, One scholarship application is accepted per student,. Choose whichever is most appropriate to you and your study area, or go for one of the general ones. Also worth noting, if you are awarded a scholarship by another provider, this one would become invalid. Good luck!
