The Tertiary Scholarships and Loans Service has reinstated its National Toppers Overseas Scheme that was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

TSLS Chief Executive Officer Hasmukh Lal says the scheme is now reinstated for the next academic year and the board is finalizing nine universities from Australia and New Zealand.

Lal says in the past there was an open gate system whereby people would choose universities according to their preferences however, this has been changed now.

He says TSLS Board will now choose universities for students from Australia and New Zealand.

Some of these universities include University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, Queensland University of Technology, Massey University in Auckland, Monash University, Western Sydney University, Newcastle University and New South Wales University.
