NDF SCHOLARSHIPS 2024

ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIPS

Nau mai, haere mai, we’re inviting scholarship applications that will help to build skills and access to digital knowledge in the arts, culture and heritage community in Aotearoa. Staff and volunteers of small/regional organisations, or organisations representing Māori and Pasifika, we’d love to hear from you. 

Scholarships will specifically cover: 

  • one ticket (valued at $175) to an NDF workshop

  • 12 months NDF individual membership

  • up to $150 towards travel

Scholarships go through an external panel and are awarded to applicants looking to increase their own development as well as that of their organisation or community.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED

APPLICATION CRITERIA

Scholarship assessors will consider an application strong if it clearly addresses how you will use this knowledge in your own mahi and to help your organisation/community.

Scholarships are designed to increase access for underrepresented groups and help address digital inequality in the arts, culture and heritage sector of Aotearoa. Scholarships are prioritised for Māori and Pasifika people, as well as staff and volunteers from regional and small organisations. 

Scholarships will enable recipients to gain access to the knowledge sharing network and resources of NDF, as a professional development pathway for many in the arts and culture sector.

Scholarships encourage organic knowledge-sharing networks and valuable ongoing available support for professionals. Scholarships are designed to support those who can join and benefit from this community but face barriers of cost and fear that “this might not be for me”.

Scholarships have been made possible with the help of Manatū Taonga Te Tahua Whakamarohi i te Rāngai Ahurea | Ministry of Culture and Heritage Regeneration Fund and NDF Kauri Partners. Scholarships are a part of NDF’s Digital Capability Program, designed to bring about long-term transformational change to the cultural sector.
