Applying for a Churchill Fellowship
A Churchill Fellowship is a life-changing opportunity to travel overseas to explore a topic or an issue you are passionate about.
No prescribed qualifications are required to apply for a Churchill Fellowship. It is for any Australian citizen who having exhausted alternatives within Australia, would like to see what other countries are doing successfully in a similar space to inspire new ideas, innovation, and excellence.
The high international regard for Churchill Fellowships provides a pathway for Churchill Fellows to access expertise from around the world that is not typically available to everyone, expanding your knowledge and experience for the benefit of Australian society. There is a high level of visibility and credibility associated with being a Churchill Fellow.
Applications close Thursday 28 April 2022, for successful applicants to travel from 2023.
