Congratulations goes out to Billy Garbutt for successfully applying and gaining an On-Campus Experience (OCE) scholarship for Year 13 secondary students of Māori descent to experience learning at the University of Otago. 🎓


The scholarship covers flight costs, accommodation at a residential college, food and all programme activities. Billy will have the opportunity to attend lectures in any area of interest, meet academics and experience life in a residential college. 

Billy’s application was part of a record number of applications that were of an extremely high standard, making selection very difficult according to Mere Mansell, the Māori Liaison Officer. 

Well done Billy, enjoy the experience!
