Le Va Futures that Work
Close date Monday, 1 February 2021

About the scholarship

The purpose of Le Va’s Futures that Work scholarships and support programme is to grow the capacity and capability of the Pacific mental health and addiction workforce.

Growing the size and skills of the Pasifika workforce takes more than just financial support. It’s also a combination of providing appropriate mentoring, coaching, cultural and pastoral care, as well as support in identifying employment and career pathways.

That’s why the Futures that Work three-step programme has been successful.

Get your fees paid – The maximum value of the scholarship is variable and paid directly to the tertiary provider. Get your study sorted – Le Va’s Teuila mentoring and coaching model helps identify the right support to complete your study on time. Get your dream job – we’ll help with planning your career in mental health or addiction.
