The Winston Churchill Foundation of the United States, established in 1959, annually grants twelve American students of exceptional ability and achievement awards to pursue graduate work at the University of Cambridge. Churchill Scholarships support one year of graduate study at Churchill College, Cambridge, in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences. Churchill Scholars generally enroll in one of the following programs: Master of Philosophy degree in science or engineering, Certificate of Postgraduate Study in natural science or chemical engineering, Certificate of Advanced Study in mathematics, and Diploma in computer science,. The award provides payment of all university and college tuition and fees at Cambridge, a maintenance allowance, and a travel allowance. Churchill scholars will also be eligible for research expenses approved in advance by the Foundation. Additional financial support is available for married students whose spouses accompany them.
In addition, the Churchill Scholarships provide opportunities to travel in the UK and to visit the country’s archeological, historical, and artistic monuments, to forge new friendships with students from Great Britain and from around the world, to see the United States from a new perspective, and to gain the many personal insights that come from living abroad and adjusting to new ways and new challenges.
A complete Churchill Scholarship application must be submitted to The Churchill Scholarship Campus Review Committee (via Lisa Sacks, Office of Academic Affairs, North College, Room 310) in order to be considered for Wesleyan University endorsement (a requirement to move forward in the competition). Based on your submittal (and in special circumstances an interview), a Churchill Scholarship Campus Review Committee will determine your endorsement. The University will endorse those candidates the Committee feels have the highest potential to be Churchill Scholars; up to two applicants may receive this endorsement.
For more information, contact David Bodznick, Dean of Natural Sciences and Math and Chair of the Churchill Scholarship Campus Review Committee (x3489). Deadline for preliminary application for review by the Wesleyan Winston Churchill Foundation Scholarship Committee is 12:00 noon on Friday, October 30, 2009.
