NZQA New Zealand Scholarship results normally come out in early to mid February in the year after you sit the exams, with a specific date announced each year by NZQA.

Quick Scoop: 2025 exam results (released in 2026)

For the most recent cycle (2025 exams, results in 2026):

  • NCEA results: available online from 14 January 2026 via MyNZQA.
  • NZ Scholarship results: scheduled for 10–11 February 2026 (schools and NZQA announcements differ slightly, but all place it around that date).
  • Historically, Scholarship has been about three to four weeks after NCEA results (e.g., early–mid February following mid‑January NCEA releases).

So if you’re waiting on Scholarship for a given year, expect:

  • NCEA: mid January
  • Scholarship: roughly three weeks later, in early to mid February.

How to check your Scholarship results

  • Go to the NZQA / MyNZQA learner login page.
  • Log in with your National Student Number (NSN) and password or email/username.
  • Results appear under your NCEA and Scholarship section once they go live.

The secure student login is usually briefly unavailable in early January while they prepare for the results release.

What if you’re checking in another year?

If you’re looking ahead (e.g., for 2026 exams and beyond):

  • NZQA states that Scholarship results are “about mid‑February” in the year following assessment.
  • Exact dates change each year, so closer to the time you should check:
    • NZQA’s official “NCEA and NZ Scholarship exams/results” news page.
    • Your school’s notices or newsletter (they often repost the Scholarship result date).

In forum discussions, students also report that Scholarship results usually drop in the morning to early afternoon NZ time on the scheduled date, but NZQA does not guarantee an exact time.

TL;DR

  • For 2025 exams: NZQA Scholarship results are due around 10–11 February 2026 via MyNZQA.
  • In general: Scholarship results = mid‑February in the year after you sit the exam.
