Churchill Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Winston Churchill Foundation Of The United States

Value: $65,000
Awards Available: 18
Deadline : Nov 03, 2025

The Churchill Scholarship was initiated at the behest of Sir Winston Churchill during the founding of Churchill College at Cambridge. The purpose of the scholarship is to strengthen the partnership between the US and UK through the promotion of science and technology, thus securing our future economic stability and safety.

Scholarship Details

Each year, we provide up to 18 scholarships, including 16 Churchill Scholarships for students in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering, and two Kanders Churchill Scholarships for those specializing in science policy. The scholarships are intended for a one-year Master's program (running between 9 and 12 months). The scholarship encompasses tuition fees, round-trip airfare to the UK, visa costs, health surcharge, and a stipend that is 5% more than the UK Research Council's standard rate. Additionally, recipients can apply for a special research grant amounting to $4,000. The total value of the scholarship is approximately $75,000.

Guiding Principles

Unlike other scholarships that prioritize leadership potential or diplomatic skills, our Scholars are chosen based on their academic and research accomplishments. Our goal is to equip these talented scientists, mathematicians, and engineers with the necessary resources to enhance their future contributions.

We offer our Scholars a science communication workshop and a science policy seminar. Even though not every Churchill Scholar will become a science communicator or engage in science policy, these competencies are often important for a successful STEM career.

Beyond these additional offerings, Churchill Scholars have the opportunity to connect with Sir Winston Churchill's legacy through guided visits to his country home, Chartwell in Kent, and the Churchill War Rooms in London.
