Kate Edger Foundation - Foundation Award

The Kate Edger Foundation - Foundation Award was established in 2016 and is funded by the Kate Edger Foundation. The main purpose of the Award is to assist women students who have successfully completed an approved University of Auckland Foundation Programme to undertake full-time study in an undergraduate degree programme at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland. The Award provides up to $2,000 to support women who have completed a University of Auckland Foundation Programme and are enrolling in a degree programme. The Award is intended for students studying full-time towards a qualification; however, the Trustees recognise that health conditions or impairments can limit a person's ability to study full-time and have extended the Award in 2023 to include part-time study on a case-by-case basis. The Award supports women graduates of a full-time 120 Point Foundation Programme who are enrolling in their first undergraduate degree in the following year.
