About us
The Churchill Trust was established in 1965 to honour the memory of Sir Winston Churchill, and offers Fellowships to Australian citizens and permanent residents. Churchill Fellowships are a life-changing opportunity to travel overseas for four to eight weeks to learn more about a topic or issue that you're passionate about. No educational qualifications are needed to apply, and you can choose your own topic. The next round of applications open 1 March 2023. Churchill Fellowships allow you to design your own investigative project, travel the world and further your knowledge in your chosen field, before returning to make a real contribution to Australian society. Since its inception, the Churchill Trust has awarded Churchill Fellowships to more than 4,600 Australians who, like Churchill, are innovative, filled with a spirit of determination and possess a strong desire to benefit their community.

New Report spotlight 🌟 Tom Linnell is a passionate sustainability educator for a more ecologically oriented future. Knowing the important role that education has on shaping tomorrow’s decision makers, Tom visited Northern Europe to understand more about the intersection between education and the circular economy. 🌍🌿 The Fellowship experience enabled Tom access to classrooms, schools, universities, not-for-profit organisations, education consultants, Local, State and National levels of Government, funding bodies, artist studios, community gardens, recycling centres, co-ops and even a climate activism gathering. Tom's Fellowship concluded that interdisciplinary collaboration should be promoted, sustainability needs to be incorporated into education, and environmental, social and economic modelling should be strengthened in school communities.
