About the scholarship

A $5,000 Scholarship for Māori and Pacific students enrolling in any year of a Bachelor of Communication or associated conjoint degree. The Scholarship was established in 2021 and is funded by the Faculty of Arts and Education. Rongo Manusina acknowledges the cultural, historical, and political connections shared by Māori and Pacific peoples, and recognises our contemporary relationships, especially the legacies of solidarity forged here in Aotearoa New Zealand. The main purpose of the Scholarship is to encourage and support Māori and Pacific students, and recognise their achievements, as they undertake a Bachelor of Communication degree at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.
