Menzies Fellows
Print versionMenzies Foundation Fellows
Each year the Menzies Centre for Australian Studies, in association with the Menzies Foundation, would offer a Menzies Foundation Fellowship for work on an Australian subject fitting the Centre's current research interests. The Fellowship was tenable for four to six months at the Menzies Centre and was intended for a tenured scholar on secondment. This scheme is currently suspended.
