The Geologists' Association supports geology and earth science at every stage, with a strong emphasis on students, amateur and professional researchers, and public-facing geology activities in the UK. Its giving is especially distinctive for backing small, practical projects: research expenses, fieldwork, museum visits, publications, regional meetings, and geological conservation/outreach. It also recognizes academic excellence through invite-only student prizes and awards.
Primarily small, targeted awards and prizes, including research grants up to about £600, regional meeting support, and invite-only student awards. Some opportunities are application-based via a grant form, while others are administered through internal selection or invitation; funding is geared toward specific project costs rather than general operating support.
Check the Geologists' Association website for the relevant grant form and eligibility rules, especially for GA Regional Meetings Grants and Research Awards. Most support is UK-based and program-specific, with some awards limited to members and student prizes handled by invitation; keep proposals tightly focused on geology-related fieldwork, research materials, meetings, conservation, or outreach.
