Call for applications - Fulbright scholar awards
Fulbright New Zealand calls for applications to a range of scholar awards for New Zealand academics, artists and
professionals to undertake academic and cultural exchanges to the United States of America. A Fulbright exchange
provides life-changing opportunities to gain international experience and advance your career, to explore America, to
share your culture and to make friends and colleagues from around the world. Grantees undertake an exchange to their
choice of leading American universities, which are world renowned for their expertise and resources.
