About the scholarship

The N. G. Stewart Scholarship is awarded to a student of the University who has a disability that makes attending university a challenge. Established in 2003 with funds bequeathed by Norman George Stewart, the scholarship aims to assist students with disabilities in their pursuit of higher education.

Entry requirements

Applicants must be a New Zealand citizen or New Zealand Residence Class Visa Holder, have a disability of at least six months or longer, and be intending to enrol, or already be enrolled in an undergraduate degree at the University of Otago. A student who has held the scholarship may apply again for up to a further two years, provided that he or she continues to make satisfactory progress in all respects.
