Rewi Thompson Undergraduate Scholarship in Architecture

An $8,000 Scholarship to support a Māori student enrolling full-time in any year of a Bachelor of Architectural Studies. The Scholarship was established in 2018 in honour of the late Rewi Thompson, an alumnus of and adjunct professor at the University of Auckland's School of Architecture and Planning, who was one of New Zealand's leading architects and a world-renowned indigenous architect. The Scholarship is funded by Architectus, whose founding directors, Patrick Clifford, Malcolm Bowes and Michael Thomson were great friends and colleagues from Rewi's university days. The main purpose of the Scholarship is to encourage and support a student of Māori descent undertaking study in Architecture at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.
