2023 Kupe Scholars announced
We are proud to announce the 31 recipients of the 2023 Kupe Scholarships for Māori and Pacific High Achievers.
Recipients of this prestigious scholarship are recognised for their high academic achievement and leadership potential.
The Kupe Scholarship, worth over $22,000, aims to attract highly accomplished Māori and Pacific students to the teaching profession and support them to become teachers in early learning, primary and secondary education.
The inspiring scholars will be celebrated with an awards ceremony hosted by the Associate Ministers of Education Hon Kelvin Davis and Hon Jo Luxton at Parliament buildings on Wednesday 2 August.
Congratulations to all our 2023 Kupe Scholars. A full list of this year’s scholars is below.
