Applications for 2023 open on the 5 July, and close on 23 August 2023, and offer ordinary New Zealanders the opportunity to travel overseas to pursue their passion, explore their chosen field, and come back and share knowledge.

Churchill Fellowships foster the exchange of knowledge and experiences between New Zealand and the wider global community.

No educational qualifications are needed to apply. Churchill Fellowships welcome ordinary New Zealanders from any field.

“We encourage individuals from all corners of New Zealand to apply and seize this opportunity that will not only enrich their own lives and professions but also contributes to the betterment of Aotearoa."
