Manaaki Fund: important update

Due to overwhelming demand, most of the initial funding we received has been allocated so we need to close the fund applications for now. 

Thank you to all of you who have spent time putting in an application. We’re really pleased you’ve reached out and asked for support. Those applications that have been submitted up until now will be processed – please remember that there is currently a ten-day turnaround for this.  

We are working urgently with Te Pūkenga to see if more funding is available for you. Once we understand the situation, we’ll send you another update and may be able to re-open applications at this stage. 

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please email studentsuccess@op.ac.nz
