The Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Travel Awards in Indigenous Development are for New Zealand academics, artists or professionals to present their work to American audiences.
A small number of awards, valued at up to NZD $5,000, are granted each year. These awards can go towards a 12 to 90 day visit to the United States which must include at least one major presentation, which fits within one of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga’s research themes.
• New Frontiers of Knowledge
• Economic Development
• Environmental Sustainability
• Health and Social Well-being
• Educational Achievement
Grantees are encouraged to maximise the impact of their award by supplementing their main proposed activity with other possibilities, such as including additional public talks, collaborating with American colleagues, and visiting sites of interest.
The closing date for the first round of awards is Wednesday, 1st April.
