Fulbright New Zealand recommends contacting EducationUSA for accurate, comprehensive and current information on educational opportunities in the United States.
EducationUSA is a global network of more than 400 advising centres supported by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the US Department of State.
EducationUSA advising centres actively promote US higher education around the world by offering accurate, comprehensive and current information about educational institutions in the United States and guidance to qualified individuals on how best to access those opportunities.
Centres are staffed by professional advisers, many of whom have first-hand experience having studied in the United States themselves and/or have received State Department-approved training about US higher education and the advising process.
There are two EducationUSA advising centres in New Zealand, at the Consulate General of the United States of America in Auckland and Fulbright New Zealand in Wellington. Please contact the centre designated to your area for advice about studying in the US:
