Christchurch earthquake teachers' training support fund reimbursement

If you're a Christchurch Earthquake Teachers' Training Support Fund recipient you are entitled to a reimbursement of up to $1600 towards your course fees, paid in two equal installments.

You should have already been contacted by TeachNZ requesting a copy of your fees invoice. If you have not done so already, please send in a copy of your fees invoice which states the core cost of each paper you are taking.

The first payment will be made after we received a copy of your fees invoice and banking details at the beginning of the year. You should receive payment within four to six weeks of TeachNZ receiving your fees invoice. Please contact TeachNZ if you have not received this payment.

To claim the second payment following the successful completion of your study, please use the applicable year form available on the right hand side of this page.

TeachNZ will acknowledge receipt of your application to the email address you provide on the form. You should receive payment within four to six weeks of TeachNZ receiving a complete application.

Eligibility Criteria for second payment

To apply for the second instalment of the reimbursement of up to $800 towards your course fees you must:

  • be a successful recipient of a Christchurch Earthquake Teachers' Training Support Fund
  • have successfully completed the course of study for which you were awarded a training support fund
  • provide a completed reimbursement claim form including all requested documentation.
