Fulbright NZ invites applications for the most prestigious international scholarship in science and technology – the International Fulbright Science & Technology Awards.

Valued at over NZ$350,000 each, these awards are for promising graduate students to undertake fully-funded PhD study at top American universities in fields of science, technology or engineering.

Approximately 40 awards are offered each year to graduate students from around the world who demonstrate unique aptitude and innovation in scientific fields, leadership potential and the ability to be a cultural ambassador for their country.

Candidates are nominated by their home country’s Fulbright commission and selected by rigorous international competition.

Fulbright NZ has been successful in nominating four candidates in the competition’s first three rounds –the latest being Jessica Rodrigues from the University of Auckland – and anticipates fielding more world class applications for this year’s awards.

The closing date for applications to Fulbright NZ is 1st May, 2009.
