Alumni, ResearchDescription
The Churchill Scholarship funds one year of study in the STEM fields at the University of Cambridge. Scholars may pursue research or coursework through any of the eligible graduate programs at Cambridge. Applicants must apply separately for admission to Cambridge and must indicate their preference to live in the Churchill College residence at Cambridge. Applicants must be nominated by Duke to compete for the award.
Selection criteria include:
- outstanding academic achievement
- proven talent in research
- outstanding personal qualities, interpreted as “interests and achievements outside of research” although the committee understands that the time commitment required by research is significant.
Eligibility
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, either graduating seniors or Duke alumni having graduated within the past 12 months.
