Different Awards
What is a Foundation Course?

What is meant by the New Start Course?
It is a special course at the University of Auckland which offers preparation for university study. Details can be found on the University of Auckland website under ‘New Start Programmes’.
What is meant by Retraining Awards?
These awards are specifically for women who have no formal qualifications and who wish to gain a diploma or degree in order to improve employment prospects. They can also be made if women need to retrain as a result of redundancy or time out of the work force.
Can I apply for a second award?
If you have already gained an award you will not be eligible for a second one in that category as we like to help as many women as possible. If you have been unsuccessful you may apply again. You can also apply for a different award, even if you have been successful in one category before.
