The Pūtea Tautoko Student Relief Fund is for University of Otago students affected by unforeseen financial hardship that has become a barrier to study.
How do I check if I'm eligible for Pūtea Tautoko
As a current University of Otago student (excluding Bridging programme and English Language Centre students), you are automatically eligible to apply for the Pūtea Tautoko Student Relief Fund.
MBChB students should apply for a Medical Hardship grant first unless it is natural disaster-related.
Students living in University-owned colleges, and UniFlats residents, should first contact the warden/subwarden to see if any financial support is available.
Students living in University-affliated colleges should contact the warden and access college-operated scholarships/funds before applying to Pūtea Tautoko.
