The Churchill Fellowship is a programme created to support people with the, “passion and potential to make a real difference to their community or professional sector”. They provide funding for you to spend up to two months learning overseas or online and support you to put your findings into action.
The grant covers living costs and travel costs incurred in the learning period (4-8 weeks). It can also cover the costs of interpreters, visas and vaccinations, as well as support workers if needed.
The fellowship states that:
They prioritise people who have had limited opportunities to develop their thinking and/or to acquire new knowledge from overseas
They prioritise people who are less likely to receive funding from another source
That the success of applications are not influenced by a person’s qualifications, background or age.
