Hardship support


If you are struggling financially, there are several options that may help you.

Awards from The University of Auckland
  • The University of Auckland Talent Fund Awards are for second-year undergraduate or postgraduate students who demonstrate both academic potential and financial hardship.
  • The University of Auckland Partnership Appeal Awards help academically able students who are struggling financially in the final year of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree programme.

For more information on these awards, see Scholarships and awards.
