NZ Winston Churchill Memorial Trust - Fellowship Applications

Community and Voluntary Sector Minister Tariana Turia is inviting New Zealanders wishing to undertake research overseas to apply for a fellowship from the New Zealand Winston Churchill Memorial Trust.  “Churchill Fellowships enable New Zealanders to benefit their communities by undertaking research overseas and bringing that international knowledge back home,” says Mrs Turia. “I am particularly keen to see more Maori and Pasifika people apply.”

Fellows are granted up to 80 per cent of their travel costs and can spend between three weeks and three months overseas. The average grant is between $5000 and $7000.

Fellows approved during the 2010/11 financial year are conducting research in the fields of education, social welfare, health, conservation, technology and the arts.

Applications close 31 July 2011. For more information and to apply visit the Department of Internal Affairs website here.
