✨ As we prepare to celebrate Matariki later this week, we're reminded that this special time is about reflection, renewal and looking ahead with purpose.
It feels fitting to share the recipients of the 2026 Sir Henare Ngata Scholarship, a kaupapa that supports Māori accounting students as they pursue their aspirations and help shape the future of our profession.
This year brought a record number of applications, making the selection process incredibly difficult. The strength, talent and mana shown by every applicant, and their commitment to their whānau and communities, was inspiring.
Congratulations to our 2026 recipients:
⭐️ Maioha Andrews
⭐️ William Bovey
⭐️ Jazmine Murray
E mihi ana ki a koutou. We are proud to support your journeys and look forward to seeing the impact you will make for your whānau, communities and the accounting profession.
Over the next few days, we'll be introducing each recipient and sharing a little more about their story, their goals and what this scholarship means to them.
