Churchill Fellowship
Selection of Churchill Fellows
The prestige of being a Churchill Fellow serves to unlock
opportunities that would not otherwise be accessible to a
private individual.
There are no prescribed qualifications, academic or otherwise,
for the award a Churchill Fellowship.
A Churchill Fellowship offers many benefits:
The opportunity to immerse and investigate a particular
topic or issue of interest for up to 8 weeks.
Overseas travel to 6-8 countries of choice
Allowance for all air travel expenses
A variable allowance for in-country travel
A variable allowance to assist with living expenses while
overseas
Possible assistance with the cost of conference fees,
tuition or course expenses.
A number of sponsored Churchill Fellowships are also
offered each year, usually confined to a particular field of
endeavour.

A Churchill Fellowship provides a
remarkable opportunity for Australian
Citizens from all walks of life who,
having exhausted all opportunities, wish
to further their search for excellence
overseas to benefit Australia.
Applicants are assessed on the merit of their proposed passion
project and on their past achievements or demonstrated ability
for future achievement.
The value of an applicant’s work to the community and the extent to
which it will be enhanced by the applicant’s overseas project is also
important criteria taken into account when Churchill Fellows
are selected.
Throughout Australia a short list of applicants is compiled by a State
and Territory based assessment panel. The short lists are then
submitted to the Trust’s Board of Directors for final consideration.
All Churchill Fellows are presented with the Churchill Fellowship award
at a meaningful Government House ceremony (in the State/Territory
they reside), and are issued with a certificate and lapel pin to identify
them as such.
Applications are invited each year from February to April.
