About University of Otago - Yvonne Brouwer Memorial Scholarship
Established in 2025 by the University of Otago to commemorate Yvonne Brouwer, an active and much-loved teacher educator at the College of Education who died unexpectedly in 2021. This award was created with the support of Yvonne’s whānau, and made possible through funding from the College of Education. Yvonne joined the College of Education in 1991 and gave thirty years of committed service before she passed away. The health of Māori education within mainstream primary education was a particular passion for Yvonne, who had a significant positive influence on many tauira Māori (and their whānau) over the years, through her unstinting support for, and high expectations of, all her students.
