About This Opportunity

The Totoweka Equity Scholarship recognises the University's commitment to equity issues in supporting all students to have access to education. The scholarship encourages strong academic applicants who are from refugee-backgrounds; have a disability; identify as Rainbow, or come from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Scholarships will be awarded competitively based on academic merit, equity, leadership, and commitment to community. Scholarships are valued at $5,000 or $10,000 for the first year of study which can be put towards accommodation costs at a Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington hall of residence, or as a contribution towards tuition fees (unless the recipient qualifies for Fees Free). Recipients are expected to act as Ambassadors for the University and participate in appropriate events or marketing if requested.
