If you have an important project or study to undertake, I highly recommend the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust. For more information visit www.churchilltrust.com.au. I've included some brief information from their site below:

WE HAVE A STORY TO TELL
THE STORY OF THE CHURCHILL TRUST IS THE SUCCESS STORY OF ITS CHURCHILL FELLOWS – now numbering over 2500 of Australia’s best and brightest. Their projects are extremely diverse but they do have something in common – ‘light in the eyes and fire in the belly’. Their projects are invariably innovative, the result of extra endeavour, or a striving for excellence – these are the hallmarks of a Churchill Fellow.
It is important to realise that the Fellows themselves are ordinary Australians – but with extraordinary goals. A glance through the list of Current Fellows will quickly confirm this, as will the examples of Fellowships. What distinguishes a Churchill Fellow is that he or she is invariably talented, has the ability to go that little bit extra, and has the determination to share the results of their Fellowship with the community upon their return to Australia.
In essence, Churchill Fellowships are acts of faith in the infinite resourcefulness of individuals, highly motivated in their own work and perceptive of present gaps within the social structure where overseas information may provide a better way of doing things. Churchill Fellows increasingly find that in some areas, Australia has something to teach the world – so the benefits of the Fellowships are not always one-way only.
A Churchill Fellowship benefits everyone and EVERYONE IS A WINNER!. The individual because their determination, drive and dedication is recognised; their organization because one of their number is recognised for excellence; and Australia because the Churchill Fellow will return with skills and knowledge not readily attainable here.
The detailed story of what the Churchill Trust does and what its Fellows have done is recorded at Churchill House in Canberra and their Reports will become increasingly available on the Internet for the community to share. More importantly, the Fellows in their daily activities continue to work for practical improvement within the Australian community.
You too can become part of the story of the Churchill Fellows by applying for a Fellowship!
