Winston Spencer Churchill (1874-1965), Nobel Prize-winning writer, visionary, artist, family man, orator, and politician extraordinaire, is considered by many to be the greatest statesman of the 20th century. Born in the Victorian Era, he served the British people first as a cavalry soldier, then as a Member of Parliament, a squadron leader in WWI, then as Member of Parliament, and later as Prime Minister. His willful and early opposition to Hitler was prescient and heroic, inspiring the English people to make ultimate sacrifices to ensure the future of democracy in the world. The strength of his convictions and his inestimable ability to express them remain his legacy. Chapin will trace Churchill’s history from a young boy devoted to and dominated by his American mother, to his ambivalent relationship with his father, to his spotty academic career, to his love of the good life and daily infusions of champagne, to his infatuations with famous women, to the trenches and the battlefield, where his leadership skills became manifest. That he first became a successful author and later a first-rate leader justifies the appellation “A Man for All Seasons.”

The Application

Q: Can I draft my answers directly in the program?
A: Yes, but it’s a good idea to draft your answers in a Word document first. When you first open the online application, you’ll see a “Question List” button at the top. Using this button, you can download and print all the application questions in a PDF for reference while you draft your answers in Word. Do not use any special formatting in your Word document – formatting will be lost as you copy and paste. You have some formatting capabilities within the online application itself. Best practices suggest that you paste your answer into a program like Notepad to strip out formatting before copying and pasting into the online application.

If you do not receive the confirmation email or have any concerns, please contact the Grants Department.

A: Questions requiring a file upload will specify the format, either PDF, Excel, Word or your choice of the former.

Q: Is there a file size limit for file uploads?
A: Yes. The file size limit is indicated in each question requiring a file upload. Watch the file size on PDFs. PDFs can often be reduced in size by rescanning at a lower resolution.
