The scholarship is available for up to two years according to the course of study. Continuation of the scholarship for a second year is dependent on a positive progress report from the institution where the scholar is studying and on approval from the Kia Ora Foundation.

Funds available for the scholarship are up to NZ$ 70,000 per annum.
