Hey Meghana,
A doctorate degree is the greatest academic honor; it signifies that you have mastered a particular field of study or vocation. Extensive study and articulation are required for the degree. This is how this degree usually works-

How long will it take to get a doctorate degree?

Ph.D.’s in NZ cost between $6,500 and $9000 per year

It is pretty hard to do a PhD without getting financial support from the school, and universities understand that! You get a monthly stipend and the tuition and health insurance is covered.
The school either rejects an application or grants admission with funding guarantees. In some rare cases, it does grant admission but offers only a partial aid.

Adding to what Juhi said, you will also (usually) have your health insurance covered as well
