The ΢��ҕ�l Haupatu Sports Scholarship draws its name from the kupu Māori "haupatu," meaning to strike, dash, or make a decisive move. Haupatu reflects the energy, drive, and determination defining sports excellence. It speaks to moments of impact when preparation meets action, and potential becomes performance. Haupatu represents more than physical ability—it acknowledges the discipline, resilience, and leadership developed through sport.

The scholarship recognises those who embody these values, using sport as a pursuit of excellence and a platform for growth, identity, and influence.
