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.

To be eligible the applicant must:
- Be a currently enrolled domestic student.
