Scholarships

The New Zealand College of Chiropractic is excited to announce the launch of a new scholarship programme aimed at increasing access to chiropractic education for a broader range of our community and expanding the outreach of the chiropractic profession. In partnership with the New Zealand Chiropractors’ Association, this initiative seeks to empower aspiring chiropractors from various backgrounds to pursue their dream of becoming a chiropractor and contribute to their communities.

 

US Financial Aid

The New Zealand College of Chiropractic is accredited by the US Department of Education to administer the US Direct Loan Program (US financial aid) to US citizens or eligible non-citizens who are:

  • Enrolled at least half-time, and;
  • Are making satisfactory academic progress, and
  • Are not in default on a grant or loan.

Loans that are available are Direct GradPLUS loans. There are a number of other programs including Pell Grants and Perkins Loans that may be available under the same US legislation of Title IV. However, these cannot be awarded to students studying outside the United States. Eligible students may, however, defer the repayment of these loans while attending the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.

Student Fee Protection

The New Zealand government has a student fee protection policy to protect student fees. All student fees are deposited into an independently managed trust account: Banks Group, Chartered Accountants – New Zealand College of Chiropractic Student Fee Trust Account. The College withdraws from this account on a consumption basis, monthly in arrears.
