Tū i te ora Scholarship

Northland Regional Council's Tū i te ora Scholarship recognises and supports students to undertake study, research or training that relates to council's environmental and regulatory functions – providing a springboard for future environmental leaders and champions, whilst contributing to council's vision 'Tiakina te taiao, tuia te here tangata - Nurture the environment, bring together the people'. The scholarship aims to build Māori capacity within Te Taitokerau, encourage greater uptake of tertiary education aimed at protecting the environment, develop connections between tertiary students and council, provide support to students experiencing financial hardship, and encourage mātauranga Māori research and education. Six scholarship packages are available, each providing $4,000 to assist with study costs plus a paid full-time work experience opportunity with Northland Regional Council from mid-November 2025 to mid-February 2026.
