Expression of Interest
This Expression of Interest (EOI) is the first step toward applying for study at NZMACI. The EOI helps us understand your interest and connect with iwi or other supporting partners where needed. Once submitted, you’ll receive information about the next steps, including the full application period and interview process.
NZMACI are working with iwi, government and other partners to minimise or remove programme costs where possible. More information about funding and support options will be provided before you complete a full application.
Submitting an EOI does not commit me to enrolling and does not create any financial obligations.
