Winston Churchill Trust Fellowship - Become a Fellow.

Become a Fellow

Want to travel overseas to explore a topic or issue that you’re passionate about? Learn more about how you can apply for a Churchill Fellowship.

Learn globally, inspire locally

You don’t need to have an academic qualification to apply, in fact you don’t need to have finished school. You can do a Churchill Fellowship on any topic, provided there is a benefit to Australia and your community by you sharing your knowledge or skills.

A series of online information sessions will be held in February 2023 to inspire your application for the 2023 Churchill Fellowship round. At the information sessions you can hear more about the Churchill Fellowship journey, gain helpful advice on how to apply, as well as engage in a live Q&A.

Each session focuses on a specific industry topic so that you can hear from Churchill Fellows in similar spaces. It is not essential that you attend a session that aligns with your proposed Fellowship topic.

Registrations are essential, so secure your spot at one or more of these sessions and start thinking about your Churchill Fellowship application.
