KATH HEMI HUIA KAIMANAWA SCHOLARSHIP
Ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo rere, ko te reo kia Māori
The Kath Hemi Huia Kaimanawa Scholarship was created in 2019 in recognition of the late Kath Hemi QSM, to acknowledge her lifetime commitment to te reo Māori me ōna tikanga.
Aunty Kath dedicated her life to the revitalisation of te reo Māori through being actively involved in many kaupapa throughout Te Tauihu and Aotearoa, including kapa haka, kohanga reo, the establishment of Omaka Marae and of course the revitalisation of Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō language and cultural identity.
This scholarship is aimed at continuing Aunty Kath’s legacy and supporting the revitalisation of te reo Māori amongst our iwi. It covers annual compulsory course fees and $1000 towards course materials and/or travel per annum for the duration of the course for up to three years (subject to annual satisfactory completion). One scholarship is available annually, with up to three scholars being funded at any one time.
