Overview
Fulbright New Zealand Travel 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.
Travel Award exchanges must include at least one major presentation. Grantees are encouraged to maximise the impact of their award by supplementing their main proposed activity with others including additional public talks, collaboration with American colleagues, visits to sites of interest etc. Fulbright New Zealand Travel Awards are not intended for research trips.
Approximately twelve awards are offered each year.
Eligibility
To be eligible, you must:

- be confirmed to make at least one major presentation in the US (poster presentations will not be funded) and to depart for the US at least eight weeks after the application closing date

Citizenship requirements
You are eligible to apply for this award if you:

Preference for Fulbright awards is given to candidates who have not had extensive recent experience in the US.
Entitlement
Up to NZ$5,000 to assist with costs associated with a short-term visit to the US
Fulbright New Zealand aims to assist as many applicants as possible with their short term exchanges, so full grants of $5,000 are seldom awarded. Grants in recent years have averaged approximately $3,000. Grantees are expected to contribute to their own travel and secure additional sources of funding wherever possible.
Fulbright New Zealand Travel Awards are intended to contribute towards travel (international and domestic), accommodation and per diem expenses. They are not intended for the purchase of equipment or any other research costs.

You must travel on a New Zealand passport, and US immigration documentation must be completed from within New Zealand
International travel will only be funded between New Zealand and the US
Your planned departure for the US must be at least eight weeks after the application closing date
You must stay in the US for a minimum of 12 days, but less than 90 days, and make at least one major presentation during your stay
If you are unable to take up the award for any reason the award lapses and any award payments must be returned
You must provide a report to Fulbright New Zealand upon your return to New Zealand
In keeping with US immigration requirements and the philosophy of the Fulbright Programme, you will be required to return to New Zealand for a minimum of two years before becoming eligible for permanent residency in the US
Fulbright orientation
It was Senator J William Fulbright's mission to build peace through the mutual understanding of cultures. Fulbright applicants and grantees are expected to understand and support this mission.
