Whawhakia ngā hua hei kai mā te iwi
In 2021 a relationship between Māori Education Trust and Ngā Tangata Tiaki Group was established. Previously all tertiary scholarships were administered internally. Since the forming of the relationship there have been a significant increase of scholarship recipients. The connections that Māori Education Trust has formed over the past 60 years is testament towards the deep seeded connections and ongoing relationships across the tertiary sector. We are excited to continue to develop the relationship between the Ngā Tangata Tiaki Group and Māori Education Trust as we move into the next 60 years.
