The Whātua Whitawhita Power Up Scholarship - Supported by Revved. Growing pathways for Māori in technology, for the benefit of Aotearoa.

You're in the right place. This form takes around 20-30 minutes to complete - read through the questions first, then fill it in at your own pace.

Before you start, here's what you'll need:

Your contact details and iwi/hapū affiliation, your answers to four questions - written (up to 300 words each) or a single video (up to 4 minutes covering all four). Your choice; both are equal.

The four questions are: Where are you heading? Who's with you? What have you already done? Why does this matter?

There are no right answers. Be specific, be yourself, and use your own words.

Need a hand? Get in touch by Monday 13th July and someone from the Whātua Whitawhita Scholarship, supported by the Revved team will support you to talk through the questions, your story, or just to back you to enter. Email [email protected].

Applications close: 11:59pm, Wednesday 15 July 2026. Your information is held securely and used only to run the scholarship. Nothing is published about you without your separate consent.

Applications welcomed in te reo Māori or English.
