NPM's ongoing partnership with Fulbright New Zealand is now in its tenth year. Since signing an agreement at Waipapa Marae in 2010 this partnership has enabled Māori academics to travel to the US to expand the scope of their research, create valuable connections and forge life long relationships with other Indigenous peoples internationally.
Past recipients of both the Fulbright-NPM Graduate and Scholar Awards have included Dr Jason Mika (pictured above), Dr Sharon Toi, Carrie Clifford (pictured left), Associate Professor Andrew Erueti, Dr Robert Joseph, Rachael Jones, Te Puoho Katene and Maia Wikaira ... amongst many others.
In 2020 we are continuing to offer our Graduate and Scholar awards together with Fulbright New Zealand.
