Tūpuna Maunga Research Scholarship 2025/2026 Opens For Applications
The Tūpuna Maunga Authority is now inviting applications for its 2025/2026 research scholarship. Open to students across all disciplines, the scholarship offers up to $10,000 to support research that deepens understanding of the ancestral mountains of Tāmaki Makaurau and helps protect their cultural and environmental values. Applications open on Monday 30 June 2025 and close at 10pm on Sunday 31 August 2025. The scholarship was developed under the Authority's education strategy and is grounded in the values and aspirations set out in the Integrated Management Plan (IMP). Its purpose is to encourage research that fosters innovation, enhances knowledge, and contributes to the ongoing care of the mauri (life force) and wairua (spiritual essence) of the Tūpuna Maunga. Previous recipients have explored diverse topics including weaving, photography, volcanology, anthropology and cultural narratives. All applicants from any area of study are encouraged to apply, however it must align with the Authority's values and strategic plans. 'Our aim is to support research that not only expands understanding but brings real-world insights and solutions,' says Paul Majurey, Chair of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority. 'This is part of how we foster a living legacy and connection with the Tūpuna Maunga'. The scholarship may be awarded to a single applicant or split among multiple recipients depending on the scope and quality of proposals. Applications are submitted via the SmartyGrants platform, with successful recipients receiving funding from November 2025 (subject to processing timelines). Full details, including eligibility and the Tūpuna Maunga Values framework, can be found at 'The Tūpuna Maunga are taonga that connect us to generations past and future,' says Majurey. 'We encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and fields. This is a chance to bring fresh thinking to how we care for and live with these sacred landscapes'.
