A Fellow and his/her family will be provided with a 3-bedroomed furnished apartment (free of rent), situated about a mile from the college. Other benefits include use of a study in college, and free lunches and dinners. Return economy fares from the country of origin will be paid for a Fellow and his/her family. A grant towards expenses (including living expenses) may be made, depending on the particular financial circumstances of a successful candidate.

Fellows are normally expected to give a talk on their research, or in some way to present their creative work, to members of Christ Church.
