The Colledge Family Memorial Fellowship Fund

Applications now open

Deadline: 2pm on 6 March 2025

The Colledge Family Memorial Trust was created by a generous bequest from Cecilia Colledge, daughter of a famous London surgeon, Lionel Colledge. The endowment is approximately £2.5 million, and the interest is used to fund a small number of high value awards for overseas study each year. Applications are reviewed and scored by a small group of senior ENT surgeons, and the Fellowships are usually announced in late June/early July. Recent awards have been for Fellows to study/work in California, Brisbane, Toronto and Germany.

All applications will be considered, but applicants seeking to gain clinical or research experience will be prioritised. The awards are typically in the region of £10-30k per candidate.
