Victoria University’s Ngā Hoe a Kupe Pathfinder Scholarships support students who have shown resilience or determination in achieving their academic and personal goals. The programme provides pastoral care, first-year accommodation, financial support and academic mentoring throughout their undergraduate degree.

We have supported this programme since 2021, funding scholarships directly, as well as providing funding to support social impact measurement.

The success of this investment is based on increased retention and study completion rates for scholarship recipients. As the first cohort of students graduates, we will also learn more about their journey into employment.
