The Fiji National University (FNU) is making it easier for new and continuing students to receive academic counselling and assistance with their admission and registration process through a series of roadshows scheduled around the country this week.
The roadshows are in addition to the guidance and assistance that students can receive at any FNU campus.
The roadshow teams will be beside Trinity Shop in Korovou Town, at the Wishing Well in Sigatoka, near Max Value Supermarket in Tavua and the Rakiraki Old Market from 9 am to 3 pm from today until Saturday (10-12 March).
Students, parents and guardians can visit these locations to also learn more about our free short courses, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) courses and higher education programmes on offer.
5000 TVET Places
Students completing or have completed Year 12 or 13 have the opportunity to undergo Semester 1, 2022 studies in any TVET course at FNU through the 5,000 Tertiary Scholarships and Loans Service (TSLS) placements.
Offered through the University’s TVET Pasifika, these courses are Certificate III, Certificate IV and Diploma level qualifications.
Students eligible for TSLS-funded studies must have successfully completed Year 12 with a minimum mark of 200/400 or completed Level I and II studies from the Technical College of Fiji or equivalent.
Free Short Courses
Eligible Fijians can also apply for a Free short course at FNU as part of the Fijian Government’s reskilling and upskilling initiative. As announced in the 2021 National Budget, the Government allocated $1 million to the national university to assist those who lost their employment due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This would assist eligible Fijians with re-employment and or entrepreneurial ventures.
To qualify for the Free Reskilling and Upskilling placement at FNU, prospective students will have to submit a Statutory Declaration of unemployability due to COVID-19, a valid photo ID, TIN details along with their birth certificate.
