About the scholarship
The scholarship, which is made possible by the generous gifting of funds by the 2009-2017 Chancellor, Dr John F Ward, was established by the University of Otago Council in 2019 to support students who have demonstrated academic ability and who have a disability that makes attending University a challenge. Applications are open to students who attended their high school years in Southland, New Zealand.
Entry requirements
Applicants must be studying with a significant disability of at least six months previous duration, which will have substantial financial implications for their studies. They must have achieved NCEA Level 2 endorsed with merit, or equivalent, and be completing, or have completed, their final year of secondary schooling in Southland.
