Application form
We use an online application system which opens on 2 September 2025.
You can download a Word version of the form for guidance and practice only.
These are the main questions we ask you in the form:
- What change do you hope to make in the UK? Please tell us why you think a change is needed and what difference it could make, including who you think would benefit most.
- Why are you the right person to carry out a Fellowship? Please tell us about the lived and/or learned experience which you think would make you an effective Churchill Fellow.
- Which countries do you want to learn from? Tell us more about why you have chosen them. What do you hope to learn from them? Please tell us something about the people and places you would like to focus on. We understand your thinking will develop and your plans might change.
- How do you think you will share and use your learning to influence change in the UK? Tell us something about what you hope to do next – with whom, how and when. We understand change takes time and your plans will evolve.
This is the first stage of our application process. If you are successful at this stage, we will invite you to send us more information about your budget, your travel plans, and any access needs you might have.
If it will be difficult for you to apply online, please get in touch with us for further advice and support.
