2025 Nicholas Irwin Hunt Writing Scholarship
Available to full-time Māori undergraduate writers, with preference to those studying in the field of journalism. Priority will be given to students with proven writing ability, academic merit and financial need.
Miss Francis Irwin Hunt was a prominent New Zealand artist whose work is represented in the Auckland Art Gallery’s collection. Upon her death in 1981, aged 91, her family farm was then sold and the proceeds were given to the trust to create a scholarship under the name of her father, Nicholas Irwin Hunt. Later in 1983, it was decided to establish two scholarships from the proceeds of the same of the farm; the Francis Irwin Hunt Scholarship is available to Māori writers.
The aim of the Nicholas Irwin Hunt Writing Scholarship is to support Māori undergraduate students who are studying in the field of journalism, where priority is given to students with academic merit, financial need, and proven writing ability.
