Fulbright Science and Technology Awards
Call for applications - International Fulbright Science and Technology Awards
Fulbright New Zealand calls for applications to the US government's most prestigious and valuable education scholarships - the International Fulbright Science & Technology Awards. Valued at over NZ$250,000 each, the awards are for promising graduate students to undertake PhD study at top American universities in fields of science, technology or engineering.
Approximately 25 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. Last year, Irene Ballagh from Dunedin was one of 27 recipients of the new awards, allowing her to undertake a PhD in neuroscience at Columbia University. Fulbright New Zealand anticipates fielding another world class candidate for this year's awards.
