Education Funding

The 2023 education funding programme is OPEN for applications.

This year's education funding application round is open from 7 November - 16 December 2022.

In keeping with Ipukarea, our strategic plan, the investment in education for our hapū provides the pathway to empowerment, employment and mātauranga; putting you in charge of your own opportunities.

As kaitiaki of our legacy, we encourage our whānau members to seek knowledge across a range of skills that will support the development and advancement of our hapū.

Our education programme places emphasis on skills and subjects that our whānau will need for the future workforce, as well as skills that will enhance and preserve mātauranga Māori.

Raising the level of general education and training and increasing employment opportunities for all whānau members is our goal. So while some of our funding streams focus on specific skills and subjects, any application in-line with this goal will be considered, at all levels of learning.

The awarding of the Scholarships and Grants is at the discretion of the Whakarewa Board.

Timeframe

Applications for the Tāpiki-Nuku and Tāpiki-Waho grants will open in February 2023.

Submit only one application for the highest award you are eligible for. If unsuccessful, your application will be automatically considered for another category.

What's new

We are pleased to announce an association for the next three years with Whakarewa owner Dr Matua Jansen (Cert. Hsc, BHB, MBCHB, MBA, Dip. Te Tohu Paetahi). Matua has previously been a recipient of scholarships by Whakarewa and it has always been his desire to give back.

As Trustee for the Whānau Family Trust, he is generously supporting our scholarship programme on behalf of his ancestors Riwai Ngapaki and Tuatara Mokena.

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini
