2025 Tribal Education Scholarship

Available to full-time Māori undergraduate students studying Information Technology. Priority will be given to first year tertiary students.


Tribal, a global leader in Ed-tech solutions, collaborated with the Māori Education Trust to transform its previously manual, paper-based application process by implementing their cutting-edge Student Management System, ebs. Building on this partnership, Tribal launched the Tribal Education Scholarship in 2022, designed to provide financial assistance to students pursuing studies in Information Technology.
