Kupe Leadership Scholarship

Scholarships of up to around $25,000 each including accommodation plus a Leadership Development and mentoring programme, for full-time enrolment by New Zealand Citizens or Permanent Residents in a postgraduate programme. The Scholarship was established in 2018 and is funded by a number of philanthropic donors after seed investment by the McCall MacBain Foundation. The intention of the Scholarship is to encourage and support exceptional students with a view to developing the next generation of leaders in New Zealand. Each scholar will be matched with a mentor from the community, who is themselves a leader in their field, to advise, challenge and guide them as they complete their study. They will also participate in a bespoke Leadership Programme.
