Otago University Health Science opportunities

Please find below some upcoming opportunities for those tauira interested in the Health Sciences at Otago:

The POPO Foundation Scholarship Programme

The POPO Foundation Scholarship Programme is a Health Sciences support programme for Pacific students studying the Pathway health science course at Otago. This programme will help prepare students and give them the opportunity to further strengthen their sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, maths) before heading into Health Sciences First Year.

POPO students receive a guaranteed place in a University of Otago residential college. POPO students also receive financial assistance towards their accommodation fees at a University of Otago residential college as well as their Pathway programme tuition fees.

The POPO students are part of a programme that includes academic, mentoring, and pastoral support to help students prepare themselves for the Health Science First Year course or another health-related programme.

The Va’a o Tautai – Centre for Pacific Health, aims to increase the number of Pacific students in health-related courses and professions, and facilitate high academic outcomes. We do this through by supporting Pacific students before and during their time at university.

Applications for the POPO Foundation Scholarship open Saturday July 1st, 2023, and close Tuesday 15th August 2023. We look forward to working together to help our Pacific students achieve their goals and aspirations.
