OARO-M EDUCATION GRANT and WELLNESS GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

As well as providing shareholders with dividends on their shares, the Oaro-M Board is also committed to providing its whānau with resources and financial assistance to help further both child and adult learning and development.

Applications for both the Education and Wellness grants are now open to those who whakapapa to the Kerei-Keepa (Gray), Hariata Beaton and Kemp whānau. In order to qualify for either grant, you must be able to provide proof of whakapapa. This is required before an application will be processed e.g., letter of endorsement from a shareholder / kaumātua.

The conditions regarding the grants are contained in their respective application packs.
