# What can I expect in the scholarship interview?

The interview is a critical stage, conducted online video, or in person at a NZ Embassy or High Commission. It is a formal process, lasting over 40 minutes . Interviewers will ask specific types of questions : Study Programme: Questions about the preferred courses and most importantly how they will improve the social and economic development of the applicant's country. Hypothetical Scenarios: Two questions about how the applicant would cope with a specific challenge. These cannot be prepared for in advance. Resilience: One question asking for a real-life example of when the applicant has been resilient.
