Maori Student Scholarships

• Applicants are encouraged to make their applications online and an email address is compulsory
• Applicants are personally responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of the information they provide in their applications. Additional and amended information will not be accepted after the relevant closing date
• All hard copy applications must be on the form of the correct year and provide all required information legibly
• A scholarship round is spread over two years beginning from the release of applications and ending with the payment of grants. A scholarship year therefore is presented to represent the year in which the round is opened and also the year in which the payment is finally made eg. 2011/12
• A scholarship bequest may be pertinent to more than one category e.g. Tī Maru Scholarships for Secondary School, Undergraduate and Postgraduate
• A scholarship may also offer multiple awards
• Each scholarship has set criteria that govern the purpose of the individual award
• Selection panels are made up of external subject experts and representatives of bequest whānau and trusts
• Successful applicants will be required to provide hard copy evidence of their enrolment at their secondary school or tertiary institution, before final payments of grants are made.

Closing dates and application requirements vary between scholarships. Please consult the www.maorieducation.org.nz website.
