Scholarships
Otago Polytechnic has a variety of sources for scholarship funding. These cover a range of options, from specific programme scholarships, Māori and Pacific Island scholarships, scholarships to assist those who would not be able to afford study otherwise and other scholarships which may be specific to gender, people who wish to refocus, people who identify as having a disability and more.
Some scholarships are funded through the Otago Polytechnic Scholarship scheme and others through external organisations who offer scholarships to students upon successful application. Note that these scholarships are for New Zealand residents only.
