Scholarship student support

Received a school leaver scholarship to study at AUT? From your first day to graduation, we’ve got a programme of support built around you.

How we support scholarship students

• A special scholars’ welcome at Orientation
• Professional development and networking opportunities throughout your studies
• Social and charitable involvement through the AUT Scholars’ Society
• One-on-one support whenever you need it throughout your degree
• Referrals to additional support if you need it
• All scholarship students live on the same floor, making it easy for you to make friends while you live in AUT accommodation
• Information on other scholarship opportunities you might be eligible for

At the end of the year, we also hold an event to recognise our scholarship students who are graduating and celebrate their achievements.

One-on-one support and progress reports

We want to know how you’re really doing. In your first semester, we’ll check in and ask you to fill in a short online progress report. It’s our way of making sure you’re enjoying your studies and making the most of your time at AUT.

It’s also your chance to tell us if you need a hand with:

• Academic progress
• Health and wellbeing
• Social interaction
• Accommodation
• Any other challenges you may be facing
