Scholarships
The Hi-Tech Foundation’s 'He Whetū Mārama Ngā Karahipi / Leading Light Scholarship Programme’ provides financial support for the career development and advancement of New Zealand technology students.

We will give preference to applicants who can illustrate a career trajectory that will:
- Increase innovation in technology
- Increase life opportunities
- Increase aspirations
- Increase community engagement
- Provide greater empowerment
- Enhance well-being

“Our core purpose is to encourage diversity and inclusion, with strong Māori and Pasifika involvement, including application forms in te reo Māori – and in building diversity and encouraging participation there is real opportunity for all New Zealanders to contribute to the valuable hi-tech sector if they wish.”
