Travelling Fellowships

Winston Churchill Memorial Trust awards Travelling Fellowships for research projects which involve overseas travel. Two important criteria for Travelling Fellowships are that they could not be carried out in the UK and therefore require overseas travel, and that they will provide public benefit, whether to a community, a sector, or the UK as a whole. Grants normally cover a stay overseas of four to eight weeks. The grants cover return flights to the UK, internal travel in destination countries, and food and accommodation for the duration of travel. Applicants must be UK citizens resident in the UK.

The experience of a Travelling Fellowship gives you:

• new or enhanced knowledge and greater credibility
• a new vision of life and/or work through the experience
• new perspectives on best practice and innovative solutions to known issues or problems
• a greater belief in your own abilities to achieve
• renewed enthusiasm
• enhanced communication skills
• a network of individuals working in the same field

Who else benefits?

The benefits will reach those in your community, profession and beyond. You will:

• be more effective at work, having been reinvigorated by your Fellowship
• return with new knowledge and ideas to share with your organisation or employer
• inspire others to achieve more by acting as a role model
• train others and enable them to develop further through your personal example
