Business School Hardship

The Business School Hardship fund provides short-term, immediate support to Business School students experiencing unexpected financial pressure.

We understand that the unexpected can happen at any time, and this can impact the well-being of our students and their ability to focus on their studies. We strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students to ask for and receive the support they need.

This fund is for our students experiencing unexpected financial pressure. It provides immediate, short-term access for essential support to temporarily reduce stressors and improve overall well-being. 

Who can access this fund?

Students actively enrolled in a Faculty of Business and Economics degree at the University of Auckland can access this fund.
