Te Whatu Ora Health Education Scholarship Programme 2023 at Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Taranaki, Taranaki

Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role

Applications are now open for the 2023 study year.

The intent of the scholarship programme is to increase the supply of and retain highly trained and skilled health professionals in the Taranaki Region by providing financial support during their academic years.

The focus for the programme has been those health professions where there are known critical shortages. From an applicant perspective we identify applicants from rural locations, low decile secondary schools and those who identify as Maori. This ensures we have a demographic mix representative of the Taranaki region.

We have the following scholarships available:

• Work Experience and Mentoring Scholarship - a financial award of up to $2,000 for the duration of the undergraduate degree that is subject to the recipient completing a supervised work experience placement for up to 3 weeks for each year they receive the scholarship.
• Financial Assistance Scholarship - a one-off financial award of $750 for that year of study only meaning the recipient must re-apply to the scholarship programme the following year.

Scholarships are granted on an annual basis and payments are made on the successful completion of your course of study and submission of your academic transcripts confirming your results.
