The University of Otago and the Otago University Student's Association (OUSA) offer guidance and assistance to students in managing their finances and addressing financial challenges.
The University has two funds for students experiencing financial hardships that are barriers to their study:
- OUSA Hardship Fund assists students to meet urgent unforeseen expenses if they have no other source of support.
- Pūtea Tautoko Student Relief Fund provides financial relief to students experiencing unforeseen financial hardship.
