Applications Open for Churchill Fellowships

Department of Internal Affairs, National

Applications are open for the next funding round of Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowships.

Sir Winston Churchill believed world peace and greater international understanding could be promoted through ordinary people travelling to other countries and experiencing other cultures.

In his honour, the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust assists New Zealanders to travel overseas to learn more about other people and cultures and to investigate topics which will help them to increase their contribution to the community and their trade, industry, profession, business or calling.

The Trust was established in 1965, by Act of Parliament, with funds from both the Government and the public. Since then, net income from investments has been used to award Churchill Fellowships each year. The Trust is administered by the Department of Internal Affairs.

Applications forms can be obtained from the Department of Internal Affairs website or National Office.

Applications close at the end of July.
