Applying for a Fellowship


To apply for a Fellowship, you must:

  • Be a UK citizen - you should have a UK passport, or other proof that you are a UK citizen
  • Live in the UK
  • Be 18 or over 

We want people with different jobs, experiences and of different ages to apply.


You do not need to have any special qualifications or be a leader in what you want to learn about.


But you must care a lot about a new idea that can make a difference to your community or the work you do in the UK.


Your idea must need information that can only be learned from other countries.


This learning can happen by travelling to a different country, or online from the UK, or a mix of both.


You can only apply once each year. 


If you do not get a Fellowship this year, you can apply again next year.


You must apply by 12.00pm on Tuesday 12 November 2024. 


Please read How to Apply for advice and support before you start.
