Applications are now open for the VUW Kahurangi Maori Student Scholarship 2025. The highest value scholarship package includes full accommodation costs* for the first year in a Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington hall of residence, or on the Marino Floor in Joan Stevens Hall for first-year tauira Maori who want to live, learn, and maintain their own tikanga with other tauira Maori.
