Criteria for funding
The fund is intended to provide immediate, short term, emergency support for students living in New Zealand who are encountering an unexpected financial crisis that threatens their university study. Doctoral students currently overseas who are unable to return to New Zealand due to Covid-19 will also be considered.

The fund is unable to support:
- Payment of tuition fees
- Payment of halls accommodation fees
- Payment of debt accumulation
- Membership fees
- Parking tickets and fines
- Flights
Note: Applicants can request financial support up to $500. The selection committee may consider requests for support in excess of $500 on a case-by-case basis.
