2007 Churchill Fellowships
The Churchill Trust is seeking applications from Australian citizens over the age of 18 years for Fellowships to be awarded in June 2007.
Rewarding Australians Striving for Excellence
Fellowships are awarded to ordinary Australians who have a passion for knowledge, the motivation to study their chosen field further abroad and the willingness to share their findings with other Australians.
No formal qualifications are required and any topic of study or research will be considered on its merits. However, a strong community benefit must be displayed at either a local, State or National level.
If you have a great idea and want to make a difference, then you should consider applying for one of the 2007 Churchill Fellowships.
- Applications with references open 1 November 2006 and close 28 February 2007
- If you are successful, travel may commence from 1 September 2007
- Each of the 100 Fellowships awarded has an average value of $25,000 and includes return airfare and an overseas living allowance
