Tu Kahika - Scholarship for Maori Students


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.
