Overview
The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust was established in Australia in 1965 shortly after the death of Sir Winston Churchill. The Trust is a not for profit educational institution governed by a Board of Directors who give their time voluntarily. The Trust administers funds initially raised by the Australian fundraising appeal of 1965 and the annual Churchill Fellowship award scheme.
The aim of The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust is to provide an opportunity for Australians to travel overseas to conduct research in their chosen field that is not readily available in Australia. No prescribed qualifications are required and the subject of the proposed project is limitless provided a benefit to Australia is evident. Merit of the proposed project is a key factor and a desire to share the research findings with the Australian community must be displayed.

• be willing to disseminate the results of your research to the broader Australian community and
• not have been awarded a Churchill Fellowship in the past.

• merit of the project
◦ will the knowledge or skills gained be of value and benefit to the Australian community

• merit of the applicant
◦ is the applicant’s current level of achievement, knowledge and expertise in the field of the proposed project sufficient to warrant a Fellowship
