Futures that Work Scholarship

Our Futures that Work Pacific Mental Health and Addiction Scholarship is much more than just financial support.

Growing the size and skills of the Pasifika mental health and addiction workforce takes more than just financial support. It’s also a combination of providing appropriate mentoring, coaching, cultural and pastoral care, as well as support in identifying employment and career pathways.

That’s why the Futures that Work three-step programme has been successful.

  1. Get your fees paid – The maximum value of the scholarship is variable and paid directly to the tertiary provider.
  2. Get your study sorted – Le Va’s Teuila mentoring and coaching model helps identify the right support to complete your study on time.
  3. Get your dream job – We’ll help with planning your career in mental health or addiction.

The Futures that Work Pacific Mental Health and Addiction Scholarship programme is open to those of Indigenous-Pacific descent, currently enrolled in an NZQA accredited mental health-related qualification.
