Churchill Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Winston Churchill Foundation Of The United States
The Churchill Scholarship, established at the behest of Sir Winston Churchill during the founding of Churchill College in Cambridge, is a testament to his vision of fostering a deeper partnership between the United States and the United Kingdom. The primary objective of this scholarship is to propel advancements in science and technology on both sides of the Atlantic, thereby ensuring our future prosperity and security.
The Scholarship
Each year, we offer up to 18 scholarships. This includes 16 Churchill Scholarships in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering, and two Kanders Churchill Scholarships specifically for science policy. These scholarships fund a one-year Master’s program, with courses typically running between 9 and 12 months. The scholarship covers tuition, round-trip airfare to the UK, visa fees and health surcharge, and provides a stipend that is set 5% higher than the UK Research Council standard. Additionally, recipients are eligible to apply for a special research grant of $4,000. The total value of the scholarship is approximately $75,000.
Our Approach
Unlike other scholarships that prioritize leadership potential or ambassadorial qualities, the Churchill Scholarship places a strong emphasis on academic and research achievement. Our goal is to equip accomplished scientists, mathematicians, and engineers with the necessary tools to maximize their future impact in their respective fields.
As part of our commitment to this goal, we offer a science communication workshop and a science policy seminar to our Scholars. While not all Churchill Scholars will become science communicators or engage with science policy, we believe these skills are often integral to a successful career in STEM.
Beyond these program extras, Churchill Scholars are also given the opportunity to engage with the legacy of Sir Winston Churchill through guided visits to Chartwell, his country home in Kent, and the Churchill War Rooms in London.
