Before you apply

One fund covering three different things — tertiary study, individual sport and cultural representation — so it is worth a look even if you assumed it was education only. A two-month window once a year and nothing before or after it. Applications go through the Māori Me portal at maorime.tikios.co.nz, linked from the funding page. You register there once, then apply. 0800 236 376 or info@teaupouri.iwi.nz.
