Toi Tupuroa has been focused in supporting whānau to realise their educational aspirations through scholarships for the past five years.
In doing so, we have engaged with a range of education providers to enable our whānau to access quality education with less of a financial burden. Institutions include Unitec, Victoria University, Auckland University of Technology (AUT), University of Auckland (UoA) Whitecliffe and King’s School.
In 2022, we partnered with the Māori Education Trust to further support the education journeys of our hapū. The fruits of this relationship has seen a direct investment of $50,000.00 into whānau homes.
Below is a brief description of the scholarship, its benefits, and outcomes we’ve achieved to date:
