Our PwC Scholarship applications for 2025 will be opening on the 28th of July. Here’s some useful information to ensure that you have the necessary dates and guidance to support final year students who may be thinking of applying.

We have two categories of Scholarships available at PwC, to help give young Kiwi talent the best start possible by providing financial support during their tertiary studies, a mentor, and an opportunity to apply for a paid Summer Internship. We are not only looking for Accounting students, but we are also keen to see those studying IT, Economics, Languages and Science to name a few. Our two Scholarships are as follows:

PwC Scholarship

Each year we offer PwC Scholarships to support students who are facing financial and/or personal hardship, which may restrict the student’s ability to enter tertiary education. This scholarship is focused on giving local talent the best start possible by providing financial support during their tertiary studies and having a PwC mentor.

Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu Scholarship

Adorn the bird with feathers so it can fly. If we give the bird what it needs, it will thrive.

The name of this scholarship is a whakataukī that translates to ‘Adorn a bird with feathers and it will fly.’ This is the foundation of what PwC would like to achieve by awarding this scholarship to talented young Māori. Scholarships will be offered to young Māori talent; these were created in partnership with our Manukura Māori Business Team.

We’re looking for students who want the opportunity to launch their career at a human-led, tech-powered community of solvers.

Further information about how to apply, timelines, tips for applying, FAQ’s and advice from previous recipients can be found on our website. We also have attached a poster with all the information for you to print or email to students.

Please note, there is no cap on the number of applicants from your school (providing the students are eligible). There is an opportunity for students with financial or personal hardship to highlight their circumstances as part of the online application.
