Manaaki Fund

The Manaaki Fund (MF) provides temporary financial assistance for currently enrolled tertiary learners who are facing unexpected hardship.

The MF can be used to cover any basic living costs learners are unable to meet, including, but not limited to, food, utilities, rent or other unexpected expenses. 

Learners can be supported by a direct cash payment into their bank account and/or direct purchase of resources on the learners’ behalf.

 

Eligibility

To be eligible the applicant must:

  • Be a currently enrolled domestic student.
  • Have a sufficient attendance record
  • Not be a Trades Academy, ITO, STAR, ACE or short course full fee paying student.

Students must also show they are suffering hardship:

  • That is interfering with their ability to progress with study.
