These scholarships are designed to grow our Māori nursing and midwifery workforce at Auckland DHB to ensure that we are meeting our obligation to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and enable equitable workforce participation for Māori. This endeavor recognizes that Māori caring for Māori is crucial to culturally responsive and competent care as well as helping eliminate health inequities experienced by our indigenous Māori population. Provision of scholarships to Māori is aimed at eliminating financial barriers to tertiary education and enabling potential in our communities.

Awards and applications
The Team at New Horizons for Women: Hine Kahukura are streamlining their processes. The intention is to remove barriers to access so that more women have the opportunity to be considered for awards.
Previously, Unitec featured their Second-chance Education Study Awards, which were for Foundation/Diploma Study Awards and Degree Study Awards. These second chance awards were for women who were engaging in tertiary education for the first time.
Looking ahead, it will be great to see what awards are offered that Unitec can promote to students. In the meantime, for more information please go to the New Horizons for Women's website. Their facebook page also lists great opportunities as they come up, including internship opportunities and scholarships for women from other organisations.
Unitec will include a link to the application portal here, when applications open.
