The Educators Scholarship
Registered NZ teachers pay $500 for the Postgraduate Certificate in Digital and Collaborative Learning. The scholarship covers the remaining $3,125, and you study part-time and online alongside your current teaching work.
AI, curriculum reform, and shifting expectations have all landed at once, and this programme gives you the thinking and the people to lead your school through them.
Scholarships are awarded as applications arrive. Apply early to secure yours.
Here's how it works:
Step 1 — Start your course application
Step 2 — Complete your scholarship form
Fill in the scholarship form to tell us a little about your teaching context and why DCL is right for you. Both forms are needed to be considered for the scholarship.
Step 3 — Hear from us
We review every application and respond within five working days. If you are successful, you will receive your enrolment confirmation and begin on 31 August 2026.
Digital and Collaborative Learning
This programme was built around the reality of a teaching workload, for people who don't have time to spare. You study part-time, fully online, and your classroom is where you apply what you are learning. It has been updated alongside the profession for more than twelve years, which means it reflects what the job actually looks like now.
The scholarship covers $3,125 of the tuition fees. For registered New Zealand teachers, the contribution is $500. The next intake begins 31 August 2026.
