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

Fulbright New Zealand Travel Awards
These awards are for New Zealand academics, artists or professionals to visit the US for 12 to 90 days in order to present their work to American audiences. Eight to twelve awards valued at up to NZ$5,000 are offered each year. Recently-funded projects include visits to the US by a printmaker, youth health practitioners and academic experts on topics including Beethoven recordings, communication research, electrical engineering and indigenous health.

Approximately six awards valued at up to NZ$8,400 (plus travel expenses) are offered each year. Recent recipients include the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, who will host Professor Anne Hopkins from Johns Hopkins University as part of establishing a collaborative longitudinal health study between the University of Auckland, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Hawai‘i
