About the scholarship
The Teupoko'ina Utanga Morgan Memorial Award is sponsored by Anau Ako Pasifika as a tribute to the life of Teupoko'ina Utanga Morgan (Poko). Poko had an outstanding career, being involved in developing policies to benefit Pacific communities and advocating for women's leadership issues. Her contribution to education, women's and children's issues was recognised with a QSM for service to her community in 1986 and in 1990 she received a Fullbright scholarship to study overseas. The Award is provided by a donation from the trustees of the Anau Ako Pasifka Incorporated. It is valued up to $5,000 in any one year and is available to a woman or group of women who identify as Pacific ethnicity, and who are involved in early childhood education services. Applicants may make multiple applications for the same innovation in subsequent years. The purpose of the Teupoko'ina Utanga Morgan Memorial Award is to advance Pacific early childhood education services. Early childhood education refers to both informal and formal pre-school teaching of young children by people outside the family or in settings outside the home.
