Applications Open: Waikato Graduate Women Educational Trust Awards


Applications Open: Waikato Graduate Women Educational Trust Awards

We are excited to announce that the April round for the Waikato Graduate Women Educational Trust (WGWET) Awards is now open. These scholarships are a fantastic opportunity to support our wāhine in their academic journeys at the University of Waikato

While there are several awards available, including those for Doctoral and Masters study, we would like to highlight a specific opportunity for our undergraduate students.

Spotlight: Te Raranga Mātauranga Award

This prestigious award was established in 2004 to assist Wāhine Māori students as they complete their undergraduate studies.

  • Value: $1,250 and a certificate.

  • Eligibility: Applicants must be Māori women students enrolled (preferably full-time) in the final year of their first Bachelor’s degree.

  • Criteria: Selection is based on factors such as academic capability, contribution to the Māori community (internal or external to the University), or contribution to their specific program and division.

How to Apply

The application process for these awards varies by level:

  • Postgraduate (Masters & Doctoral): Information and applications can be accessed directly through the WGWET website.

  • Undergraduate (Te Raranga Mātauranga): These awards are division-nominated, meaning students cannot apply individually. Each division may nominate up to two candidates.

Te Piringa Students: If you are a Wāhine Māori in your final year and wish to be considered for a nomination, please email Leilani Tuala-Warren to express your interest.

Important Dates & Deadlines

  • Closing Date: All nominations and applications must be submitted by 30 April.

  • Notification: Winners will be informed of the committee's decision in June.

For further questions regarding the undergraduate nomination process, please contact the division or reach out to Jude at awards@wgweducationaltrust.nz.

Whether you’re a first-year at the Hamilton campus or a seasoned LLB student, here is my definitive ranking of the best food spots at the University of Waikato . 1. Sue’s Café: The Gold Standard The sushi triangles and Korean specialities here are unbeatable. It’s fresh, fast, and the perfect "grab-and-go" fuel between lectures. If you haven't been yet, you’re missing out on a campus staple. 2. Food Paradise: The Curry Wrap This is a local legend for a reason. There is nothing quite like curry, chips, and sauce, all wraped in a naan to get you through a cold Hamilton afternoon. It’s heavy, it’s delicious, and it’s the ultimate comfort food for law students. 3. Bongo Café: Teriyaki Chicken Bowl When you want something that feels a bit mor...
