Before you apply

Register once through the Deloitte Rotorua system and it shows every grant your whakapapa makes you eligible for, so check for others at the same time. Each trust sets its own criteria on its application page — Mangorewa Kaharoa requires third year or above and allows one grant per lifetime, for example — so read the page for this trust before assuming the general rules apply. Enquiries to Deloitte Rotorua, nzrotoruaenquiries@deloitte.co.nz.

Link note, 31 August 2026. The trust’s own programme page returns a 404 outside the application window. The link now goes to the Deloitte Rotorua portal, where every trust appears once the round opens on 27 January. Nothing suggests the grant has ended.
