AKAU Scholarships

$1,765 donated

Given by 18 generous donors in 7 weeks

A fund to support AKAU graduates to follow their dreams. This year money will go to Te Teira Rakete to help with his first year uni costs.

Northland

AKAU is a design and architecture studio based in Kaikohe, Northland. Our vision is to create thriving communities around Aotearoa by engaging youth in the design of REAL projects. Our youth training scheme provides youth with experience designing real projects, gets youth a Level 2 qualification and builds confidence and connection to their community.

Te Teira Rakete is an AKAU graduate from 2015. He is studying a Bachelor of Architectural Studies this year with the dream to come back to Kaikohe to help design his own marae and build up his community. We'd love to help him do that and know he needs assistance with material costs in his first year. Any donation is helpful- paper and pencils add up at architecture school!

If donations reach above $1000 we will set up an annual scholarship to help AKAU graduates achieve their dreams.

AKAU's involvement (page creator)

I am a co-founder of ĀKAU and was Te Teira's tutor last year. At ĀKAU we see great potential in our youth to be the leaders of their communities and Te Teira definitely has what it takes to do this.

Kapai Te Taira! I'm inspired. I want to support those students who are doing what might be abnormal and unexpected, and encourage ambition. These students' ideas may be more wide-reaching than just getting a qualification if these students can bring their skills back to the Northland community.

This is awesome. years ago I worked in Kaikohe, for the MOE and was always concerned about the number of young ones, disengaged and just 'hanging out' -their inner lights were dimmed. Bless you for re-kindling that spark.
