Te Uri Māhoe Education and Training Scholarships

Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro nōnā te ngahere, ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga nōnā te ao.

Through the continued support of whānau and donors the Te Uri Māhoe Charitable Trust are happy to announce the opening of another round of scholarships. We offer two types of scholarships to assist with the educational aspirations of our descendants. These Scholarship opportunities ensure that we are able to build hapū capacity together and support our whānau during their training and education journey.
