2025 Welcome Back to Wellington for Undergraduate Students

The 2025 Welcome Back to Wellington scholarship originates from the recognition that for some students who have studied elsewhere, things may not  have worked out well and they would love the opportunity to come back to study near their family and friends.

This scholarship is open to 2023 and 2024 School-leavers, giving students the opportunity to settle back into study to enjoy the full experiences that Victoria University offers.
