Te Waiu O Aotearoa Trust Scholarships

The Te Waiu O Aotearoa Trust Scholarships were established to promote, develop and provide for the education, advancement and employment opportunities of Māori, with a preference in the general business, banking or finance industries. Te Waiu o Aotearoa Trust was established in 1994 in partnership with Māori and Iwi entities to promote, develop and provide for the education and advancement of Māori in the general business, banking, and finance industries. Each year, at the trustees' discretion, up to four Māori recipients throughout Aotearoa are each awarded a $5,000 scholarship towards their tertiary study costs. The Trust is administered by Westpac New Zealand Limited. Applications are reviewed by a Trustees panel, with interviews held if applicable, and selections are made. Recipients are notified of application outcomes and scholarship funds are paid in December.
