The Churchill Scholarship, established at the request of Sir Winston Churchill, funds one year of Master's study at the University of Cambridge for outstanding US students in science, mathematics and engineering. The Foundation funds up to 18 scholarships per year: 16 Churchill Scholarships in science, mathematics and engineering, and two Kanders Churchill Scholarships in science policy; courses run between 9 and 12 months. The award covers tuition, roundtrip airfare to the UK, visa fees and the health surcharge, and a stipend set higher than the UK Research Council standard; recipients are also eligible to apply for a $4,000 special research grant, and the total value is over $80,000. Applicants must be citizens of the United States and are nominated through participating US institutions. In contrast to scholarships that prioritise leadership potential or ambassadorial qualities, the Churchill Foundation's criteria are outstanding academic achievement (there is no minimum GPA), proven talent in research such as extensive laboratory experience and internships, and outstanding personal qualities. The scholarship is tenable at Churchill College, which applicants must list as their first college choice on the Cambridge application. Scholars complete the Foundation's online application, request four academic letters of recommendation, and submit a separate application to the University of Cambridge for an eligible one-year MPhil or MASt course in the sciences, mathematics or engineering.
