An opportunity to experience life on campus
The On-Campus Experience (OCE) scholarship provides an amazing opportunity for Year 13 secondary students of Māori descent to experience learning at the University of Otago. The scholarship covers flight costs, accommodation at a residential college, food and all programme activities.
Students will explore the campus and have the opportunity to attend lectures in their areas of interest. The OCE allows students to experience life in a residential college and meet academics and support staff in Te Huka Mātauraka, our Māori Centre.
