From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 24 September 2024

Four lucky Otago Uni students have been given a pretty unique chance to kickstart their music careers after winning a highly sought after Six-60 scholarship.

The scholarships were set up in 2021 by the University and the band.

They include a $10,000 rent rebate, mentoring from band members and access to the University's recording studios.

Not to mention the chance to live in the iconic flat where it all started - 660 Castle Street. Emilie Murphy is one of the lucky recipients.
