A call for applications

Fulbright NZ invites applications for two award programmes funding short-term exchanges between NZ and the US:

Fulbright NZ Travel Awards

These awards are for NZ academics, artists or professionals to visit the US for 12 to 90 days in order to present their work to American audiences.

Eight to 12 awards valued at up to NZ$5,000 are offered each year.

Recently-funded projects include visits to the US by a visual artist and academic experts on topics including indigenous activism, oral history and island conservation sanctuaries.

These awards are for NZ academic institutions to host US academics, artists or professionals for two to six week programmes of lectures, seminars, workshops, conferences or symposiums.

Approximately six awards valued at up to NZ$8,400 (plus travel expenses) are offered each year.

Recent recipients include the University of Waikato, who will host Prof. Kaethe Weingarten from Harvard Medical School to give a keynote address at the NZ Association of Counsellor’s national conference and additional seminars at several universities and polytechnics.
