The RISE (Reaching for Inclusion through Scholarships and Experiences) Scholarship, created by Pro-invest Group in partnership with Auckland University of Technology, helps young New Zealanders pursue their passion for hospitality and tourism.
Every year, the scholarship provides $5,000 in financial support plus mentorship, work experience, and career pathways — opening doors for students who may otherwise face barriers to education.

By contributing to the RISE Scholarship, you’re removing financial barriers for young talent, supporting diversity and inclusion in hospitality, investing in the future of tourism in Aotearoa.
