About the scholarship
A $3,000 Award for Māori and Pacific students currently enrolled in their final year of undergraduate study and who are enrolling full-time or part-time in postgraduate study in the following year. The Professor Michael Walker Award for Māori and Pacific Students was established in 2009 as the Tuākana Scholarships to encourage Māori and Pacific students completing their final year of undergraduate study to enrol in postgraduate study. In 2018, the Scholarship was renamed the Professor Michael Walker Award for Māori and Pacific Students to honour the contribution of Professor Walker, the founder of the Tuākana programme, at the time of his retirement from Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.
