Nurture the seed and watch it grow and blossom.
Join our community of supporters and invest in the future of our healthcare workforce through the Middlemore Foundation Health Science Scholarship fund


Pacific People make up only 6.7% of the healthcare workforce in Aotearoa New Zealand, but are largely overrepresented in negative health statistics and outcomes.
We are working in partnership with FOU: the Future is Open to Us to change this by supporting Pacific students from Health Science Academies into their first years of study at university. FOU is an initiative that is working to nurture Pacific students into a workforce that is representative of their communities with wrap-around support and resources.
We’re on a mission to remove barriers and work together to grow representation of Pacific practitioners in the healthcare sector - and we need your help.
The impact
With your help, we can work together to weave future pathways for our students who will go on to transform the health sector and change our community health outcomes for the better.
The first year of study is fees-free, but it’s the hard costs that add up. Middlemore Foundation Health Science Scholarships are split students' study to cover added costs such as textbooks, resources and travel for students.

The more we raise, the more students we can invest in, the more change we can affect.
