Press Release: Universities New Zealand – Te Pokai Tara
Universities New Zealand -Te Pōkai Tara (UNZ) and
Coordination of the National Scholarship Program Carlos
Antonio López (BECAL) of Paraguay have signed a
collaborative agreement to establish a joint scholarship
programme for Paraguayan students pursuing PhD studies in
New Zealand.
The programme aims to strengthen
educational cooperation between Paraguay and New Zealand,
enhancing links between our universities and their
Paraguayan counterparts.
“We are proud to establish
this agreement with Universities New Zealand, marking a
significant milestone in our mission to develop Paraguay’s
next generation of leaders and researchers,” says
Alejandra Bogado Tervit, Director of Training for
Development, BECAL.
“By providing Paraguayan
students access to world-class doctoral studies we are
fostering long-term international educational cooperation
and creating opportunities that will drive scientific and
academic development in
Paraguay.”
Eligible Paraguayan students
accepted into PhD programmes at any New Zealand university
will receive significant tuition fee discounts, paying the
same domestic fees as New Zealand
citizens.
Chris Whelan, Chief Executive
of UNZ says, “We’re very pleased to be partnering with
our Paraguayan colleagues on this new scholarship programme.
There is a natural connection between our two countries,
particularly in terms of our climate and geography, but also
in the challenges we both face. This exchange will
undoubtedly be positive for us both.”
The
establishment of this programme follows on from a UNZ
Research Committee delegation to Latin America earlier in
the year. This partnership represents a significant step in
fostering international academic collaboration and providing
Paraguayan students with educational opportunities in New
Zealand.
