Thanks to funding received through the Matat膩 Initiative and Engineering New Zealand we are offering a massive 8 scholarships each worth $5,000.

If you're M膩ori and in your first year of a Bachelor of Engineering at any tertiary institute in Aotearoa, you're elligible to apply. 

Successful recipients will be able to demonstrate a commitment to M膩ori engagement in engineering through extra curricular activities and leadership in h膩pori or marae. 

Applications are expected to be registered with P奴horo's tertiary support programme, Te Urunga Pae. If you aren't already a part of the kaupapa, you can register through your scholarship application.

What is the Matat膩 Initiative?

The Matata Initiative, set up through the generosity of Dick Earle and his late wife Mary, aspires to support more M膩ori and Pasifika young people into professional careers in engineering and technology.

In 2023, the Engineering New Zealand Foundation launched the Matata Initiative, funded by the Professors Earle. The express purpose of the initiative is to lift the numbers of M膩ori and Pasifika young people who undertake four-year degrees in engineering or technology and go on to launch professional careers in those industries.
