| Student Grant Scheme 2008 | ||
The British Herpetological Society welcomes applications to its Student Grant Scheme . Students can apply for small grants, principally aimed at supporting fieldwork and other costs associated with final-year undergraduate or masters projects. The grant scheme is intended to promote interest in herpetology through well-defined short research projects. PhD projects will not normally be eligible. Priority will be given to BHS members. Grants will not normally exceed £300. The scientific scope of projects should be consistent with the aims of the Society. |
