The purpose of Pūtea Tautoko is to provide financial relief to current University of Otago students for whom unforeseen financial hardship has become a severe barrier to successful study, and for whom other forms of support are not readily available.
Grants are typically between NZ$500 and NZ$2,000 to assist students with meeting necessary living costs.
