Awards for Young Members (Under 25 Years of Age) to Attend Society Meetings and Forays

Travel expenses will not be met and normally only a single award will be made to an applicant in any one calendar year. The hotlink in the title of this paragraph downloads the application form. Complete this application form and post it, together with the required supporting documents, to the General Secretary at least two clear months before the meeting for which the award is sought.

BMS Small Grants Scheme
Funds are available from the Small Grants Scheme to promote mycology in a wide variety of ways. The amount available for any one undertaking is unlikely to exceed £300 but what it can be used for is entirely up to your imagination. Mycologists might need help: · to travel to meetings · with fieldwork or research projects · to buy books or scientific equipment · to hire meeting rooms or attend forays · to support the cost of preparing applications to other agencies for funding for mycological projects. These Grants are open to all categories of member AND non-members of the Society; and both individuals and Local Groups may apply. Applications based on hardship will be considered sympathetically (and, of course, confidentially). The hyperlink in the title of this paragraph downloads further information and the separate one-page application forms for individuals and Local Groups. Deadlines for applications are 20th day of March, June, September, or December.

Seminar Speakers Fund
Funds are available to support visiting speakers to address universities in the U.K. and Ireland where mycology is taught as part of recognised degree programmes and is the subject of research activity. The hyperlink in the title of this paragraph downloads a page of information about the scheme.
