New Zealand University Bursary

The New Zealand University Bursary or Bursary was a former New Zealand secondary school qualification gained by Year 13 (Form 7) high school students.
To gain a Bursary, students had to achieve an aggregate score of at least 250 from up to five Bursary subjects; each subject marked out of 100 with Art counting as a double-subject.
An 'A' Bursary was awarded to candidates achieving a total score of 300 or higher, while 'B' Bursaries were awarded for scores between 250 and 299. To gain University Entrance via the Bursaries Examinations, students were required to get a 'C' grade or better in at least three subjects. Candidates who did not get an 'A' or 'B' Bursary had their Bursary scores count toward University Entrance provided their subjects scored at least 40%. Between 1989 and 2003, those coming in the top 3-4% of their subject also won a scholarship, whereas previously Scholarship had required entering additional examinations.
In 2004, the Bursary was replaced by the National Certificate of Educational Achievement at Level 3 and scholarships by the New Zealand Scholarship.
This qualification was awarded by the New Zealand Universities Entrance Board until 1990 and then was awarded by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority until Bursary's demise.
