PurposeThe Norman Kirk Memorial Trust seeks to promote the welfare and progress of the people of New Zealand and the South Pacific, especially those who have the capacity to benefit from further education, study or training, but who need financial assistance in realising their potential.
Key informationThe Trust does not consider direct applications from people or organisations. It has partnership arrangements with some schools, universities and training centres in New Zealand and the South Pacific. See How to apply for more details.
Background to the TrustThe Trust was established in 1976 to commemorate the life of the late Rt Hon Norman Kirk, Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1972 to 1974. The Trust's capital comes from donations made in Norman Kirk's memory by individuals and the governments of New Zealand, Australia and several South Pacific nations.
Trust guidelinesThe Trust awards grants to people and organisations in New Zealand and in South Pacific countries.
The Trust seeks to help:
- disadvantaged or disabled people who are committed to taking advantage of "second chance" education or training
- people seeking a qualification or training which will enable them to make a greater contribution in the community.
How to applyThe Trust does not consider direct applications from people or organisations.
