Kia ora,
Applications for
the University of Otago's Tū Kahika Scholarship are now open. Year 13 students
of Māori descent that are interested in a career in health are encouraged to
apply.
Students are
supported into and through the University of Otago's Foundation Year Health
Science course and receive:
- Guaranteed accommodation
in either Studholme or Arana Residential Colleges
- $5,000 towards
accommodation costs
- Foundation Year tuition
fees paid in full
- Additional tutorials
A flyer is attached
with more information in the "Scholarship" tab at the top.
The Foundation Year
Health Sciences course assists students to better prepare for further study
such as HSFY (or courses with a high science content). Students also get the
opportunity to learn about the various health degree/career pathways throughout
the year. 'TK' students feel better prepared for further study and more
familiar with the university environment after completing Tū Kahika and
students feedback is overwhelmingly positive. For further information and
to hear some student feedback about the programme visit www.otago.ac.nz/tukahika.
