Good news! All the 8 universities have committed to subsidising 50% of the MIQ costs for the principal returning international student (costs for additional people in the room need to be self-funded).

NZISA applauds the universities' decision for stepping up and supporting returning international students especially after the recent announcement on increased MIQ costs for temporary visa holders.

Khanin discusses a positive step that was taken by NZ govt. to support international students facing financial distress due to Covid-19.

NZ Govt. announced NZ$1 Million to go towards supporting international students who are facing financial hardship due to COVID-19. It is indeed good news for the international student community of New Zealand amidst the challenging times of Covid-19 and a looming recession in New Zealand. Though this funding may not be sufficient, it is definitely an encouraging development for the International education sector of New Zealand.

However, students or agents do not have direct access to this fund and only eligible organisations are able to apply to a grant of up to NZ$20,000, which is a one-off lump sum grant. However, based on availability and requirements etc, eligible organisations may able to reapply for more funds.
