The Scholarship was established in 2020 and is funded by Rob Vickery, a venture capitalist who immigrated to New Zealand with his family in 2020. The Strong Bear Undergraduate Scholarship is inspired by the Vickery’s young son and their desire to assist Māori and Pasifika students who are studying the arts.

The main purpose of the Scholarship is to support a Māori or Pacific student enrolling in the first year of a degree in the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Creative Arts and Industries at the University of Auckland who, because of financial hardship, may not otherwise be able to undertake a university degree.

Scholarship applications will usually open around six weeks before the closing date. Please read the regulations carefully to be sure you are eligible before you apply.
