Fellowship Criteria
The Fellowships are open to ENT Specialty Registrars on approved (numbered) otolaryngology training programmes in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Applicants must have passed the Intercollegiate FRCS by the time the Fellowship commences but may be pre- or post-CCT. The grant takes the form of an educational stipend of £27,500 which is not liable to income tax under current HMRC regulations: this is intended to cover the first 6 months, and the second 6 months is funded through the host department.
Applicants for TWJ Major Fellowships should note that the Trustees have no objection to Fellows securing modest supplementary grants or awards to help with the expenses of their Fellowship. However, obtaining a second major Fellowship award from another source which matches or exceeds the TWJ grant would be unacceptable and liable to lead to withdrawal of the TWJ Fellowship.
