Background

The tauira support grant is for tauira who have not had a formal assessment of their learning but who feel that their learning is impacted in a detrimental way due to an impairment.

The Tauira Support Grant reimburses $500 towards a learning assessment.

The tauira support grant takes into account the neurodiversity family including (this is not an exhaustive list) dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, autism spectrum disorder and ADD/ADHD.

Five $500 grants are available each academic year.
This ensures that successful applicants have sufficient time to receive the assessment results to support their learning.

Eligibility

Applicants must:

  • be enrolled in a Te Rito Maioha programme

  • not have received a tauira support grant previously.

Tauira can reapply if they are unsuccessful.

Application Process

To be considered, applicants must:

  • Complete an online or downloadable grant application form.
    • If needed tauira may fill in the application for the learning support grant in collaboration with a Te Rito Maioha staff member. Both the tauira and the staff member sign to attest if this has been filled in collaboratively.

Note: Completed downloadable forms should be emailed to studentservices@ecnz.nz
Partially completed applications will not be considered for a grant.

Selection Process

Applicants are approved on a first-in-first-served basis.

Tauira will receive confirmation of the outcome of their grant application within four weeks of application.
