In 2020 we are also including three special named inaugural internship awards. These scholarships honour three of our esteemed NPM scholars and their whānau.

Our Summer Internships are for students interested in gaining some real research experience, and working with senior NPM researchers over the coming 2020-2021 summer. The internship programme is intended to provide experience and support for Māori students interested in pursuing research.
