37790 (2024). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Defence: What factors led to the decision to significantly reduce the funding limits of the Voluntary Education Study Assistance (VESA) scheme for NZDF personnel?

Hon Judith Collins: As Voluntary Education Study Assistance (VESA) is for voluntary part-time study, funding limits have been reduced for FY 2024/25 to ensure the Defence Force can prioritise delivery of Government directed outputs.
