Call for applications – Fulbright New Zealand graduate awards

Fulbright New Zealand calls for applications to its range of exchange awards for New Zealand graduate students to study or research in the United States of America during the 2016-2017 American academic year.

Fulbright graduate awards are available to students with a four-year tertiary qualification who show academic excellence, leadership potential and the ability to be cultural ambassadors for New Zealand. A Fulbright exchange provides life-changing opportunities to gain an international qualification and experience, advance your studies and career, explore America, share your culture and make friends and colleagues from around the world.
