NZAOT Graduate Awards

This award is for the highest level of achievement in completing the occupational therapy programme.

Historical

This prize in varying formats has been awarded since at least the mid 1960s. Initially awarded to the overall top student from the New Zealand School of Occupational Therapy (the programme offered by the Department of Health) the prize was transferred with the educational programme to the Central Institute of Technology when the programme moved from health to education. In the 1990s when the programme at CIT was replaced with two programmes the NZAOT identified that it would make two awards, one for the overall top graduate from AUT University and one from Otago Polytechnic.
