People in the agriculture, horticulture and food production sectors are invited to consider applying for prestigious Churchill Fellowships.
Applications open 28 February 2025.

These are a unique chance to travel internationally, investigate global best practice, and apply it in your working life.
Each Fellowship involves funding for expenses for four to eight weeks of international travel. The amount of funding varies depending on the location and itinerary of approved travel.
Over 60 years and almost 5000 people receiving Fellowships, the impacts are widespread and ‘hidden in plain sight’ within Australian society.

Australian citizens and permanent residents from any industry, background or location are eligible to apply. (No academic qualification is necessary).

Fellowships are based on the legacy of Sir Winston Churchill – it’s about the freedom to explore, the wisdom of travel and open-mindedness. 2025 is the 60th year of the Trust.

People are invited to attend an information session hosted by former head of ABC Rural Leigh Radford:
• 25 Feb 2025, 6-7pm (AEDT)
