TICKET SCHOLARSHIP NOMINATATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

The Shepherdess Muster Ticket Scholarships

Do you have a friend, family member, neighbour or colleague living in Tairāwhiti, or the Ōpōtiki or Wairoa Districts, that deserves a weekend away from it all to focus on just themselves?

This year thanks to the generous support from Manatū Wāhine Ministry for Women, Shepherdess have six ticket scholarships for The Shepherdess Muster to give away to locals who really deserve it.

Each ticket scholarship is valued at $549 and includes:

  • Catered food all weekend, access to guest speakers, over 25 workshops, the artsbreak area, and a refreshment and bite to eat on arrival.

  • Tented accommodation for two nights - twin-share accommodation with stretcher, mattress and bedding.

Who is eligible? 

We have six ticket scholarships to giveaway.

Scholarships are open to all women who live in the Gisborne, Wairoa and Ōpōtiki Districts (our Local Ticket area), both living rurally and in town.

The scholarships will be prioritised for those that would really benefit from taking time out from their day-to-day life. This could include women who may have suffered adversity, women who otherwise may not be able to attend due to cost, or women who may just need an event like The Shepherdess Muster to give them a much needed break or boost.
