About the scholarship

An Award to support a M膩ori student or a Pacific student enrolled in the first year of a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. The Award was established in 2023 and is funded by Paul Bushnell in memory of his partner Jonathan Mane-Wheoki, who was a pioneering researcher and writer in the field of M膩ori and Pacific art, and a powerful mentor for upcoming M膩ori and Pacific artists at Elam. The Award recognises the practical encouragement and support he both received in his early career, and generously provided as a teacher, colleague, researcher, writer, and friend. The main purpose of the Award is to support a M膩ori student or a Pacific student enrolled in the first year of a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Elam School of Fine Arts, at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.
