Ngāpuhi Funding and Scholarships — paused

All Ngāpuhi funding streams, including the Ngāpuhi Education Scholarships and Marae & Hapū Development funding, are currently paused while the rūnanga overhauls its funding processes.

Closes

Before you apply

The page still lists 2024 Ngāpuhi Education Scholarships recipients (Taumarere Pūtaiao UE & NCEA) for reference, showing the scholarship existed and paid out as recently as 2024, but gives no current criteria or amount since applications are closed pending the funding-stream review. Contact funding@ngapuhi.org (general funding) or scholarships@ngapuhi.org (scholarships), 0800 NGAPUHI. Worth a re-check once the review is announced complete — this is by far the largest iwi in Aotearoa and a paused fund reopening would be a significant addition.
