Privacy
The Ministry of Education (the Ministry) collects the personal information you provide in this application form for the purposes of assessing your application and – if you are successful – administering your award.
Some questions in the application are for statistical purposes only – these are optional or allow you to respond with ‘prefer not to answer’. While we encourage you to answer these questions, choosing not to do so will not impact the assessment of your application. Some questions are required (marked with asterisks) – if you do not answer these questions your application will not be processed.
Your information will be securely held by the Ministry and will be deleted once no longer required. It will be confidentiality shared with panel members who assess applications, which may include sector experts external to the Ministry. If you are successful in being offered a learning support award the Ministry will inform your employer to support administration of the award and will subsequently contact your university to confirm your enrolment and successful completion of the courses.
You have the the right to request access to information the Ministry holds about you and to ask to have it corrected if it is wrong. If you would like to access information relevant to your application, or if you have any privacy questions, please contact the Advisor - Learning Support Study Awards and Scholarships.
