Application Process

Thank you for applying for a Hoe Tahi Addiction Sector Scholarship.

We have had to amend our assessment timeline for scholarships to enable our panel members to be part of the local responses to the impact of cyclone Gabrielle. The immediate effects were felt by over half the population,  with around 10,000 forced from their homes. A few weeks on, and the devastation is still evident in provincial and rural communities – many of which are still isolated and disconnected from services, support and loved ones.   Many voluntary,  community and peer-led groups have been leading local responses – particularly in rural and isolated communities.  We are so appreciative of the commitment, courage and manaakitanga of everyone involved in their local responses.

We have reset our scholarship assessment panel to the end of this month with the intention to notify applicants of outcomes in early April 2023.    Notifications will be sent to your registered email address in our scholarship system.
