Winston Churchill Memorial Trust - Churchill Fellowships

Churchill Fellowships help people travel overseas to learn from others and study topics that will advance their occupation, trade, industry, profession or community and benefit New Zealand. The fellowships are for short-term travel outside New Zealand for investigation, experience and/or research that will help advance the applicant's field of interest on their return to New Zealand. Since the Trust was established in 1965, over 900 Winston Churchill Fellowships have provided travel opportunities overseas for ordinary people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds from throughout New Zealand. The Trust has limited income and aims to distribute this income as widely as possible each year for the greatest benefit to New Zealand. The Trust expects applicants to personally meet not less than 20 per cent of the total estimated costs of their proposed fellowship travel, and to contribute more if they are able. Fellowship recipients must submit a report on their project within six months of their return to New Zealand, which are reviewed by the Board and published online.
