Logan is one of eight selected for the two-day scholarship.
The grant includes seminars and workshops with award-wining music industry professionals and a performance in a concert on Saturday night.
Logan says the supreme winner of the scholarship will receive $4000 worth of prizes, including Music Works vouchers and a chance to record at Round Head Studios with Neil Finn.
The singer-songwriter, who moved to Wanganui last year, is currently playing with his left arm in a cast. He describes his musical genre as pop-rock, but he says there have been hints of folk and country since writing with a broken wrist.
He had to tune the strings of his guitar to a chord to help him play with his injury.
He says songwriting was something that stirred inside of him at a young age, and he wrote his first song when he was 10.
"It's kind of like making a stew. You put all these things into it and add to it, and eventually you get this nice, yummy, concoction of goodness.
"That's kind of my songwriting journey, along the way there's been all these little things that have made me into the songwriter that I am today."
While in Auckland, Logan is also planning on auditioning for Homai Te Paki Paki, the talent show on Maori TV.
"If I'm good enough, I'll go to the live show at night. So it will be open for voting to the public, and the person with the highest amount of votes gets $1000."
The winner then has the opportunity to go the finals, where the award is $20,000.
He says the best part of songwriting is being able to tell stories, and to tell people their stories matter.
Next year, Logan, a Christian, is thinking of going to the United States to do some mission work, or moving up to Auckland to do a diploma of audio engineering.
"You've got to have a back-up, or plan B," he says. "I thought, 'I could really do this for other people, not just myself'. But that's kind of my way of giving music back to other people."
