Kia ora Nina
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 of 11
February 2026 seeking the following information:
I would like to obtain details on the distribution of students and their
marks for the following scholarships from 2024: Calculus, Chemistry,

You can expect to receive a response to your request on or before 11 March
2026. You will be contacted again if there is a likelihood that this
timeframe cannot be met.
As you may know requests for official information become official
information once received. As part of the processing of requests for
official information, NZQA may need to consult with relevant third
parties. During the consultation, a third party may ask for the identity
of the individual/organisation requesting the information. If you are an
individual making a request, please advise us whether or not you would
have an objection to disclosing your identity if a third party asks for
your identity, and the reasons for your objection. If you are an
individual making a request on behalf of an organisation please advise us
both whether you personally have an objection to disclosing your identity,
and the reasons for your objection, as well as any objection to
identifying the organisation, together with reasons. NZQA will consider
your reasons and whether they fit with any withholding grounds under the
Privacy Act 2020 or the Official Information Act 1982.
Requests from an organisation for information about the organisation will
be processed under Part 4 of the Official Information Act.
As part of the commitment to open and transparent government, NZQA is
proactively releasing responses to Official Information Act requests which
are of public interest. We publish OIA responses on a quarterly basis. We
will include advice about the publication of your request in our final
response letter. Your name and contact details will be removed before
publication.
In some circumstances after scoping a request, NZQA may decide to charge
for making the requested information available. If this is the case, we
will write to you again with details and seek confirmation you wanted to
proceed on that basis.
For any enquiries about your request, please contact
[1][email address].
If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right, under
section 28(3) of the Official Information Act 1982, to lodge a complaint
with the Office of the Ombudsman at [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. You
can also telephone 0800 802 502 or write to the Ombudsman at PO Box 10152,
Wellington, 6143.
