Kia Ora Foundation has, since 1997, funded scholarships for education in music performance and in applied science for New Zealand students. The Foundation offers annually the Patricia Pratt Scholarship for musical performance, which is valid for up to two years’ post-graduate international study. The Charles Campbell-White Undergraduate Scholarship in Applied Sciences is endowed annually at the University of Otago in Dunedin.

Applicants for the Patricia Pratt Scholarship are invited to apply in March through the scholarship’s administrator, Te Pokai Tara - Universities New Zealand (TPTUNZ). The Charles Campbell-White Undergraduate scholarship is awarded annually by application through the University of Otago.
