Tauira Support Grant

The Tauira Support Grant helps tauira access a formal learning assessment, especially for neurodiversity needs such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, autism spectrum disorder, and ADD/ADHD.

Five grants of up to $500 are available each academic year to support the cost of an initial assessment. Tauira pay upfront and can seek reimbursement once they have submitted their receipt and approval letter.

This grant exists to ensure tauira have the right support and understanding to succeed in their learning journey.
