MAORI EDUCATION FOUNDATION FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MAORI PUPILS, 1973 The Maori Education Foundation seeks to encourage Maori pupils to make the best use of educational facilities and provides financial assistance to this end. For the purposes of the Foundation the term ‘Maori’ includes any descendant of a New Zealand or Chatham Islands Maori.

Teachers aware of promising Maori pupils in need of financial assistance to further their education are requested to encourage such pupils to apply to the Foundation.
