Commenting on the initiative, Ben Burrowes, Regional Director Asia, Education New Zealand, said, "Since the launch of New Zealand Excellence Awards in 2016, the awards have supported over 200 Indian students to pursue their global citizenship journey through a world-class education at one of our eight universities.”
“The contribution these awardees make towards enriching the education ecosystem at our campuses is invaluable. This year, we announced the largest ever investment in these awards to support the dreams of more such aspirants. This also signals our commitment towards India and our plans to expand the NZ – India education relationship to nurture more projects and initiatives of mutual benefit.” added Mr Burrowes
