PACIFICA Tertiary Education Grants

Background

PACIFICA (Pacific Allied (Women’s) Council Inspires Faith in Ideals Concerning All) Incorporated is a non-profit community organisation that was founded in 1976 with a  network of branches throughout Aotearoa-New Zealand. Our 22 branches operate in our three designated regions: Northern, Central and Southern. 

From 2002 to 2010, PACIFICA branches fundraised to build an education fund to provide educational grants to assist Pacific students with their educational development and to help fulfil their dreams and aspirations. PACIFICA has been distributing these grants since 2010.

In 2024, PACIFICA Inc. is delighted to offer tertiary education grants of $2,000 to a Pacific woman in each of the PACIFICA regions – Northern, Central, and Southern – who are currently undertaking undergraduate study and would benefit from some financial support to continue their tertiary education and achieve their goals. Preference will be given to current PACIFICA members or close family of PACIFICA members.
