The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust provides fellowships for study that cannot be completed in Australia. The criteria for the award of a fellowship is that it will provide a significant contribution to the Australian community.

The Senior Project Officer with the FFMPU was awarded a Churchill Fellowship and travelled to the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland to meet with agencies working in the missing persons arena. The Department supported the officer in her application, award and fulfilment of the Fellowship.
