Special Supplementary Grants

This section has information on Special Supplementary Grants for Medical Interns at the University of Auckland and the University of Otago, and The Chair of Malay Studies at Victoria University of Wellington.

Special Supplementary Grants (SSGs) are made available to eligible tertiary education institutions (TEIs) for specific purposes.

SSGs continuing in 2008 include grants for:

Changes to Special Supplementary Grants

Due to the changes brought about by the tertiary reforms, SSG funding is in a transitional period.  SSGs currently targeted at Maori and Pacific students, and Tertiary Students with Disabilities has been replaced by Equity Funding. Planning for the rationalisation of remaining SSG funds is underway for implementation by the start of the next Plan period in 2011.

Providers currently receiving these SSGs need to apply by submitting objectives showing how they propose to use the grant.  Where applications are approved, written notice will be given of:

  • The purpose of the grant
  • The amount of the grant
  • How the funding will be delivered
  • The reporting requirements.

Reporting on Special Supplementary Grants

Universities are required to report each year on how the previous year’s SSG was used via the Statement of Service Performance, which is due on 30 April. The Statement of Service Performance must contain statistics and reports of achievements based on the performance indicators outlined in the objectives.

In addition the university must provide financial information detailing the expenditure of the grant for which the SSG was allocated. Where financial reporting identifies surpluses, providers are required to return unspent funds to the Tertiary Education Commission.
