About the scholarship

These awards are offered in partnership with the Science and Innovation group of the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE), the lead agency driving the science and innovation sector in ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ.

Fulbright Science and Innovation Graduate Awards are for promising ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ graduate students to undertake postgraduate study or research at US institutions in fields related to science and innovation.

To be eligible, you must: • have completed the equivalent of four years full-time study at tertiary level and obtained a bachelor's degree by the time you take up your award, but not yet hold a doctoral degree; • plan to undertake full-time postgraduate study or research at a US institution for a period of at least six months; and • meet the citizenship requirements of this award. Preference for Fulbright graduate awards is given to candidates who have not previously received a Fulbright graduate award, or had extensive recent experience in the US (ie. have not studied, taught, researched or worked in the US for a period aggregating more than nine months/one academic year during the past five years).
