McDonald's Te Tai Tokerau Scholarship
McDonald’s New Zealand established an annual sponsorship programme with AUT University in 1993. One of the longest running private tertiary scholarships in New Zealand, the primary aim of this scholarship was to extend education opportunities to Maori students from the Northland region, who may otherwise find it difficult to pursue a tertiary education. In 2016 the programme was extended to include a scholarship for students from the Gisborne Wairoa area.
