Students enrolling in the Foundation Studies Certificate Health Sciences programme can also apply for the Pathway | Te Huarahi Scholarship, offered by the University of Otago Scholarships office. Ngā Koroī scholarship recipients are ineligible to receive the Pathway | Te Huarahi scholarship, so while applicants can apply for both, it is not possible to be awarded both scholarships.
