14.0 Scholarships and Awards<br />
NKII give annual scholarships in three categories that acknowledge Ngäti <strong>Kahungunu</strong> educational<br />
initiatives. Te Wänanga Whare Täpere ö Täkitimu scholarships are offered to fulltime students<br />
enrolled in the Bachelor of Mäori Performing Arts degree. Te Manga Mäori EIT recognises<br />
those students enrolled fulltime in the BA Mäori programme at the Eastern Institute of Technology.<br />
The third category is the 12 contestable scholarships offered to students studying fulltime in<br />
institutions in New Zealand and overseas. Next year all scholarships will be contestable. Tables<br />
28 and 29 show the range of tertiary instutitions in which successful applicants are studying<br />
and the range of qualifications sought.<br />
Te Taiwhenua ö Heretaunga also offer annual scholarships for tertiary study which are also<br />
constestable. Other scholarships within <strong>Kahungunu</strong> are attached to land corporations 25 .<br />
In 2001, Te Whare Täpere ö Täkitimu chose to honour four experts in their fields by conferring<br />
them membership in Te Whare Pukenga as Tohunga Huarewa. The first of these are Piri<br />
Sciascia, Ngapo and Pumia Wehi, and Pita Sharples for their contribution to Mäori performing<br />
arts.<br />
