About the scholarship
Trust Waikato Te Puna o Waikato is a philanthropic organisation established in 1988. They donate a percentage of their profits to community organisations and projects that focus on welfare, sport, recreation, youth, art, culture, and the environment, for the benefit of people in the Waikato region. In September 2001 Trust Waikato made available a significant contribution to be used as research grants for students at the University of Waikato. The support is for research projects that focus on ways in which not-for-profit / voluntary / community / whanau / third sector organisations can enhance life for the people of the Trust Waikato region. The Trust Waikato region is closely aligned to the following territorial local authorities: Hamilton City, Waipa District, Hauraki District, Waikato District, Matamata-Piako District, Otorohanga District, Waitomo District, Thames Coromandel District, Ruapehu District and South Waikato District.
The Trust Waikato Grants have been provided to support student research that is aimed at improving the lives of the people in the Trust Waikato region through community organisations.
