Healthcare Scholarships and Funding
It is important to note that you must be either working, volunteering or intend to work in the health sector and contribute to Māori Health improvement in Hawke’s Bay.
Our scholarships and funding focus on building the capability and capacity of our Māori health workforce in Hawke’s Bay through assistance for training and professional development.

These scholarships are for study towards improving Māori health, particularly in priority areas such as Maternal Child and Youth Health; Health of Older People; Long-term Conditions and Māori Health.
