Ka Mahi Scholarship Application - Outward Bound

Ka Mahi Scholarship Application

Please check that you meet the following funding criteria before completing the application form:
  • I am a New Zealand Citizen or Resident currently living in New Zealand
  • I am aged between 18-26 years
  • I am volunteering in my community or I am experiencing financial/personal hardship

 At Outward Bound, we believe the life-changing experience of our courses should be accessible to everyone in Aotearoa. If you've always dreamed of attending but thought it was financially out of reach, we can help.

Thanks to our generous donors, many of our students receive funding to make their journey possible, with support varying depending on individual circumstances. Our team will help you secure the best financial support available, so you can take your first step toward your Outward Bound journey.

*Note: Please do not book yourself on a course and then apply for a Ka Mahi scholarship. Successful applicants will be booked by our Enrolments team. All applicants will receive a response regarding their application by email or phone within 30 days from submission.

Fields marked with * are required.
