The Makotuku scholarship is offered to registered beneficiaries of Uenuku charitable trust who are undergraduate or graduate students enrolled fulltime in a degree programme. This scholarship aims to encourage and support descendants of Uenuku, Tamakana and Tamahaki to attain higher levels of educational achievement, and to build capacity and capability that supports whānau, hapū and iwi development. There is one scholarship of $5,000 annually.

However, to mark the launch of the Makotuku scholarship, TWO scholarships of $5,000 each have been made available in 2018, the inaugural year.

Preference will be given to those students who: are in their last year or second to last year of study toward their degree; have proven academic merit; demonstrate a commitment to tikanga Māori and te reo Māori; demonstrate a commitment to community; and are interested in building skills and expertise to support Māori economic and social development. It is envisaged that the recipients of this scholarship will be committed to the future economic and social development of Uenuku, Tamakana and Tamahaki iwi, hapū and whānau.
