•
Number of recipients for UC Engineering Top Achievers Scholarship in 2024, 2023, 2022.

Please see the requested information attached. Please note that some applicants never undertook NCEA but
studied University of Cambridge International Education (CIE) or International Baccalaureate (IB) qualifications.
Only those recipients with NCEA results have been considered in these figures.
The number offered wil include those offered in the initial offering and then reserves offered as a result of
declines/lapses in original offers. The number of recipients is those who accepted the scholarship and then
enrol ed in Engineering at UC. Please also note that the application for this scholarship is made in August of
Year 13, therefore many applicants have none or few NCEA Level 3 results.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about
how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
