About the scholarship
The scholarship, which is made possible by the generous gifting of funds by the former Chancellor Stephen Higgs and his wife Gail Higgs, was established in 2020 to support students who have a learning disability which makes studying a personal challenge and have financial need along with life/personal circumstances which present barriers to studying at the University of Otago.
Entry requirements
Must be studying with a significant disability which will have substantial financial implications for their studies. Must have achieved NCEA Level 2 endorsed with merit, or equivalent.
