Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Scholar Award
The Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Scholar Award is for a New Zealand academic, artist or professional to lecture and/or conduct research at a US institution in the field of Indigenous development. One award valued at up to US$37,500 is granted each year, towards three to five months of lecturing and/or research. Applications close 1 October annually.
This award is offered in partnership with Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) the Māori Centre of Research Excellence funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) and hosted by the University of Auckland.
The award is available for study or research that fits within and contributes to the one of the NPM’s research priorities and themes and for individuals currently affiliated with a NPM formal partner.
