How it works
SixStar provides training scholarships every year to help those passionate about a career in hotel management to achieve their dreams
Here's a quick summary of how it works:
Applicants apply online.
They include a reference (preferably from an existing employer).
Applicants apply separately to their chosen course provider. The course must lead to a nationally recognised hotel management NZQA qualification.
Applications are reviewed by the SixStar Selection Committee. We consider each person's ability and employment history, plus the relevance of their chosen course, its national qualification status and the support from their referee (especially if they are an employer within the hospitality industry).
We inform applicants of our decision. This is dependent upon funds available and course relevance.
If successful, we pay tuition fees directly to the course provider.
Applicants let us know how they got on at the end of the course.
