AAI Scholar was founded by former international students who navigated New Zealand's university and visa system firsthand — and wanted to make it easier for the next generation.
We started in 2014 as a two-person consultancy helping a handful of students apply to Auckland and Otago. Since then we've grown into a full-service team covering all 8 New Zealand universities, without ever losing the one-on-one approach we started with.
Every advisor on our team has either studied in New Zealand as an international student or spent years working directly with Immigration New Zealand and university admissions offices.
We recommend the university and programme that fit you, not the one that pays us the highest commission.
Every service and its cost is laid out before you sign anything — no surprise charges at the visa stage.
Our relationship doesn't end at enrolment. We check in through your first year on the ground.
