Introduction
Established in 2019 by the University of Otago in partnership with Te Rau Ora, the Tā Mason Durie Pae Ora Masters Scholarship was created to support Māori students to study in the Mental Health and addictions system.
The Scholarship acknowledges and recognises the significant leadership and contributions that Tā Mason Durie has given to Māori health, Māori development, indigeneity and Māori futures over many years and reflects his belief that leadership is a shared enterprise rather than a dependence on one person alone and that, by working together, communities can develop and enact plans based on their own solutions.

- A New Zealand Citizen or New Zealand Residence Class Visa Holder;
- Able to meet the University of Otago's Māori ancestry verification requirements;
- Enrolled at the University of Otago for the year of the award; and
- A current leader in the health sector or potential leader aspiring to work in Māori health leadership roles across the health, mental health and or the addiction system.
