Support for Student Fieldwork

Support for Student Fieldwork is available for both Fieldwork Projects and for Fieldwork Courses. Requests for support should be sent to the Honorary General Secretary who will forward them to a member of the Society who is willing to provide the expertise required.

Fieldwork projects for which financial support is sought:

1. should not form part of a university or college course.
2. should be undertaken in the British Isles, preferably in Scotland.
3. may be carried out by individual students or groups of students.

The maximum grant available for each project is £400. Only one project per university/college will be funded each year.

Requests for funding should include an outline of the project, details of how the money will be spent and a supporting letter from an academic member of staff of the university.

A short report should be sent to the Society after the project is completed.

Fieldwork courses for which financial support is sought:

1. should not form part of a university or college course.
2. should be undertaken in the British Isles, preferably in Scotland.

Individual students undertaking a fieldwork course may claim the cost of tuition and subsistence up to a maximum of £200. Only one student per university/college will be funded each year.
