St Stephen’s and Queen Victoria Schools scholarships

The St Stephen’s and Queen Victoria Schools Trust Board is pleased to announce its new scholarship programme!

The Mihingare (Anglican) Secondary School Scholarships are for Maori secondary school students who demonstrate financial need, leadership qualities/potential and a satisfactory educational background, and who will benefit from additional financial support for their secondary schooling.

Up to 30 scholarships worth up to $10,000 each are being offered.

We are now calling for the first Mihingare Scholarship applications (for the 2017 school year).
We ask you to help spread the word and encourage people to apply.

The St Stephen's and Queen Victoria Schools Trust was established by the Anglican Church in 1961. The Trust’s purpose is:
"The advancement and propagation of education for children in New Zealand, principally for girls and boys of New Zealand Maori descent but including peoples of all races and denominations".

In September 2016 the St Stephen's and Queen Victoria Schools Trust Board established the Mihingare Scholarships to achieve the purposes of the Trust in order to enable Maori to succeed as Maori and access quality educational pathways.

The Mihingare Scholarships target secondary school students who demonstrate financial need, and given the history and purpose of the Trust, consideration is also given to applicants who are: Maori; Anglican; will be attending Maori Anglican Special Character Schools; and/or whanau of past students of St Stephen’s and Queen Victoria schools.
