GHA Scholarship
We are currently accepting applications for the GHA Scholarship. Consistent with our kaupapa-Maori focus, this scholarship aims to support greater Māori representation within the business community by proactively fostering and encouraging Māori into the accounting profession or wider business environment. We are seeking applications from Māori students who are keen to enter the accounting profession and are committed to the Chartered Accountants Australia New Zealand (CAANZ) pathway. In addition to this, we have extended our criteria to allow for applications from Māori students who are studying business with the intention of becoming Māori business professionals.

We have a total scholarship pool of $10,000 to be awarded to the right applicant(s). The minimum scholarship award is $2,000.
