Overview
Fulbright New Zealand General Graduate Awards are for promising graduate students to undertake postgraduate study or research at a US institution in any field of study.
Approximately eight highly prestigious and competitive awards are offered each year to graduate students who show academic excellence, leadership potential and the ability to be cultural ambassadors for New Zealand. Awards are granted for advanced academic study or independent research in the US.
Studying in the US is an opportunity to explore America, share your culture and make friends with students from around the world. The quality of teaching, facilities and resources is renowned worldwide.
Fulbright New Zealand General Graduate Awards are for graduate students from any field of study, however priority will be given to candidates from fields of study not covered by other graduate awards.
Eligibility
To be eligible, you must:
have at least a four-year degree (or a three-year degree with honours), but not hold a doctoral degree at the time you take up your award
- plan to undertake postgraduate study or research at a US institution for a period of at least six months
- meet the citizenship requirements for this award:
Citizenship requirements

- are a New Zealand citizen
- AND are not a permanent resident or citizen of the US
- AND are not currently living in the US*
* Applicants outside New Zealand who are unable to attend an interview in person may be disadvantaged.
Preference for Fulbright awards is given to candidates who have not had extensive recent experience in the US.
Fulbright awards will not be granted for medical programmes which include any clinical activities involving direct patient care.
Entitlement
- return airfare to the US
- a one-off payment of US$25,000. The award will be reduced to US $15,000 if the recipient enrols in an academic programme of less than nine months duration
- basic health and accident insurance up to US$100,000
- support and enrichment seminars run by the Institute of International Education (IIE) throughout your stay in the US
The value of the Fulbright award is not intended to fully fund your entire course of study. For this reason, you should be investigating additional funding from universities and private and government sources whilst you await the outcome of your Fulbright application.
