Kamo-Tuuta Scholarship

The Kamo-Tuuta Scholarship was established through the Will of Minnie Te Miri Kamo, late of Kaiapoi. The purpose of the Scholarship is to facilitate post-graduate study through a University, or other recognised tertiary education system. The scholarship is available primarily to family members of Peter Kamo (husband of Minnie Te Miri Kamo) and George Tuuta (also known as George Toko Tuuta, father of Minnie Te Miri Kamo). Family members include Whangai family members. If no family members are available in any given year, the scholarship may be awarded to any other Maori student of Te Atiawa or Arawa descent. A maximum of $5,000 will be awarded to an applicant. Applications may be submitted at any time in the year and must include supporting documents and a family tree showing the relationship to Peter Kamo or George Tuuta.
