Scholarships
Our holiday programmes give rangatahi the chance to explore Te Tauihu, push past what they thought was their limit and come home with new friends and a new sense of confidence and what they're capable of. We don’t want cost to be the reason anyone misses out.
Our scholarships help with the cost of a place on our open enrolment holiday programmes, so more young people can get into the outdoors, connect with nature and experience te taiao in a new way.
Can I apply for a Scholarship?
You can apply if the young person:
- is aged from 7 -18yrs
- lives in Aotearoa New Zealand
- wants to take part in one of our holiday programmes but cost is a barrier to taking part
- meets our safety criteria to take part in the programme
- can partially contribute to the cost of the programme
- is happy to write a thank you message for our funders
Parents, whānau, caregivers, teachers, kaiako and youth workers can all apply on behalf of a young person.
How to Apply
The form takes about 5-10 minutes to fill in. We’ll let you know the outcome as soon as possible, so please apply well before your chosen programme starts.
Applications will be reviewed as they come in and will be dependent on meeting the funder criteria. Scholarship funds are limited, and typically cover at least 50% of the programme fee.
