Scholarships

Ngā Pou Mana are proud to be able to provide the Ngā Taonga Mātauranga o Ngā Pou Mana scholarships and awards to tauira and kaimahi Māori.

Ngā Pou Mana have established yearly scholarships in collaboration with PHARMAC that are provided to kaimahi and/or tauira Māori who are in study, and/or those who have had a positive impact on their whānau, hapū, iwi or communities.

The awards are to support Māori allied health workforce development, so that people can continue their study, to grow professional and cultural practice. The awards will provide much needed tautoko and manaaki for kaimahi Māori and students.
