We’ve partnered with Māori Education Trust 

We are continuing our partnership with the Māori Education trust to support our tauira in Secondary and Tertiary study. This sees an extra financial contribution to your Oha. The value varies dependent on your level of study. 

Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei will process all applications, Māori Education Trust will distribute payments on behalf of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. In some cases, this may increase the time it takes for Oha to show in your bank account. Please be patient as we work to get your Oha to you as soon as possible. 

Established in 1961, the Māori Education Trust encourages Māori to pursue further education. They have done this through scholarships and grants to Māori across Aotearoa.

Advancing the educational aspirations of Māori are a shared vision for both Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and the Māori Education Trust. This year, the Māori Education Trust are supporting Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei tauira in secondary and Tertiary studies by contributing to their Oha Mātauranga.

We would like to thank the Māori Education Trust for this contribution.
