Students who complete a qualification offered in partnership with Laidlaw College may be eligible for Studylink services, including student loans and student allowances. Students who are completing the Level 6 NZDipCS offered at Bishopdale are ineligible for Studylink services.
Bishopdale College does not guarantee scholarship funds will be available to any particular student. Scholarships may be available as follows:
Students who attend an Anglican Church or serve in an Anglican-affiliated ministry context are eligible to apply for scholarships from the St John’s College Trust Board. Applications for Semester 1 study close 30 September in the year prior. Applications for Semester 2 study close 31 March each year. The process does take some time, so please contact us early for assistance, even if you are only considering study. For more information about St John’s scholarships, please contact the Bishopdale College office.
From time to time, some scholarship funds are made available directly through Bishopdale College. All current students will be advised of the application process and dates.
Students are encouraged to research scholarships which they may be eligible for, using online databases such as StudySpy (free) and givMe (accessible through your local library or community centre).
Students may also be able to apply for support from their home church or denomination.
