The Pasifika Medical Association (PMA) offers 11 scholarship categories worth $140,000 to assist our Pacific people into medical and health related careers from its Education Fund. The PMA Scholarship Awards have all been named after distinguished Life Members who have demonstrated exemplary service to improving the health and well-being of Pacific communities. Two new scholarships have also been introduced this year to acknowledge the late Dr Sitaleki Finau and Elizabeth Powell, both pioneers in health who dedicated their lives to improving the health outcomes for Pacific people in New Zealand and in the region.
Scholarships are awarded on a yearly basis as a one-off grant. Grants go towards tuition and study related costs including living costs of the recipient whilst they are studying. Check out the stories of our Scholarship Namesakes and some of our past recipients here.
