CMG ORDINARY BURSARIES
Funding is available to assist researchers and postgraduate students to attend and present research on clay minerals (sensu lato) at conferences, workshops and related activities. Awards are limited to £500 or 50% of costs (whichever is less) and are paid retrospectively. Open to both members and non-members. There are two bursary application deadlines per year: 1st March and 1st September. (https://www.minersoc.org/clay-minerals-group-bursary.html)
