IMPORTANT information:

  • Did you apply last year? If you applied last year, you would have already received an email informing you that your details are already in the NEW portal.
  • Did you apply to Māori Education Trust previously? If you have previously registered with the Māori Education Trust portal then you just need to ensure that your profile has Ngāti Mutunga (Taranaki) listed as one of your iwi and you will then see our grants.

  • “WRITTEN STATEMENT” – you will need to write and upload a statement that answers the following two questions:
    • Why have you chosen your field of study or course?
