I think they ask to bring along $200 of your own cash to top the scholarship that you've been awarded which is about $800. 80% of students get a refund of some sort.
Make sure you get a proper Class 2 medical from a DAME or AME as listed on the CAA website www.caa.govt.nz . About 2 or 3 turned up this year with an old gliding type medical that was signed by their local GP. proper Class 2's weren't able to be organised in time and at least one was denied first solo because of the lack of a medical.
get in early before xmas, as some doc's (DAME's) have to forward your paperwork to someone else to sign it off (either a AMA or CAA) which can be time consuming. AMA's can issue on the spot.
