Dear Sam
I refer to your information request dated 22 October 2022 made under the Official Information Act
1982. You requested:
“I was hoping to find out the number of students that gained entrance to the 2022 MB ChB
cohort via the HSFY category who also received an Entrance Scholarship to the University of
Otago.”
Please see below our response to your request.
The number of students who entered the 2022 MB ChB programme via the HSFY category,
who had also received an Entrance Scholarship to the University of Otago
204 students entered the 2022 Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB ChB) programme
via the Health Sciences First Year (HSFY) category. Of those students, 167 received an Entrance
Scholarship. Further information on the Undergraduate Entrance Scholarships offered by the
University of Otago can be found on
the University website. I trust that this information will be helpful.
Yours sincerely
Kelsey Kennard
