Spencer Foundation
The Spencer Foundation was established in 1962 by Lyle M. Spencer. The Foundation received its major endowment upon Spencer's death in 1968 and began formal grant making in 1971. Since that time, the Foundation has made grants totaling approximately $250 million. The Foundation is intended, by Spencer's direction, to investigate ways in which education, broadly conceived, can be improved around the world. From the first, the Foundation has been dedicated to the belief that research is necessary to the improvement in education. The Foundation is thus committed to supporting high-quality investigation of education through its research programs and to strengthening and renewing the educational research community through its fellowship and training programs and related activities.
Fulbright New Zealand
We administer a range of awards for New Zealanders and Americans wanting to study and research in each other's country. We also provide advising services for New Zealand citizens intending to study in the United States.
The New Zealand-United States Educational Foundation (known as Fulbright New Zealand since 1999) was established in 1948 to promote international understanding through educational and cultural exchanges between New Zealand and the United States.
"Each of the letters of that acronym stand for something which defines the movement and the values on which it rests. First and foremost we are international in our scope, our vision and our membership. We believe that it is through the quality of discourse across national boundaries that we challenge ideas, renew our commitment and reframe our thinking and our practice. We also believe that this is achieved through "congress" a meeting of minds. Congress is celebrated annually when we come together in host countries of the North and South, East and West."
