Earth and Planetary Sciences Field Trip Fund

The Earth and Planetary Sciences Field Trip Fund at Birkbeck, University of London provides financial assistance to undergraduate students studying earth and planetary sciences. Established through generous donations from former students, including Mr Timothy J Newling, the fund supports students with costs associated with undergraduate field classes or fieldwork modules. The fund covers field courses including Introduction to Field Geology, Field Mapping Training, Assessed Field Techniques 3, Project BSc Geology, and Map and Thesis modules. Awards are based on estimated costs provided by the organizing department and may not cover full expenses. Applicants must demonstrate financial need, with household income typically under £40,000 (with adjustments for joint incomes and dependents). Students can only receive funding for each module once and must be current with fee payments.
