Scholarships
You may be eligible for a University of Otago scholarship, and you can apply for such scholarships at the same time you apply for admission.
University of Otago Doctoral Scholarships are competitive scholarships that are awarded to applicants with a strong academic record. These scholarships cover fees and living costs for three years. Many of our postgraduate students are supported by such scholarships.
