About the scholarship
These scholarships were established in 2020 by Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington aimed at growing the participation and success of Māori and Pasifika students, and those from refugee and low socio-economic backgrounds in Wellington. They are focused on supporting students who have shown resilience or determination in achieving their academic and personal goals. The University will offer financial support, academic monitoring and other support throughout the recipients' undergraduate degree programme, including accommodation in the first year of study.
