TE RAU ORA
The Te Rau Ora Scholarships offer work experience in the drug and alcohol addiction sector for individuals with lived experience.
Unlike traditional scholarships, they welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, including cultural and creative pathways. These scholarships provide practical opportunities for personal growth and contributions to addiction recovery efforts, fostering inclusivity and innovation in the field.
This year's applications for the Te Rau Ora Scholarships are currently closed, we will communicate via our channels for next rounds intake.
These scholarships present an opportunity for individuals with lived experience. If you're passionate about making a difference and eager to gain valuable work experience in this field, we encourage you to apply.
