The Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Graduate Award is for a promising New Zealand Māori graduate student to undertake post-graduate study or research at a US institution in the field of Indigenous development.
The award is available for study or research that fits within and contributes to the NPM Research Programme and NPM’s priorities and themes.
Fulbright New Zealand Graduate Awards can be used towards a Masters or PhD programme, or grantees can participate as a Visiting Student Researcher (VSR). A VSR allows grantees to spend between 6-12 months studying or researching a topic or proposed project in the US, usually as part of a degree programme within New Zealand. This can be an attractive option for those pursuing a graduate degree at a New Zealand institution, when research in the US would supplement or aid their programme. A VSR does not require full graduate school admission into a US institution, and instead requires a letter of invitation from a host institution.
Applications for the 2025 intake (for programmes commencing Fall/August 2025) are now OPEN
