Te Ara Whakamua Fund- The Path Forward

The Te Ara Whakamua Fund provides financial support to Māori students undertaking placements, internships, professional wānanga, or student hui that contribute to their learning, career development, and cultural growth. It's here to reduce the financial pressure of travel, accommodation, kai, and other costs so you can focus on learning and growth. The fund may be granted to assist with costs directly related to the approved activity, including travel (airfares, petrol, bus fares, etc.), accommodation, kai and daily living costs, registration or participation fees, and equipment or resources essential to participation. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year but must be received at least two weeks prior to the commencement of the placement, internship, or hui.
