Scottish Arctic Expedition Fund

The Scottish Arctic Expedition Fund supports independently organised and self-led expeditions to the Arctic by Scots (by birth or residence) who are under 30 years of age. Expeditions should have adventurous, scientific, educational or artistic objectives. Consideration will also be given to applicants with strong Scottish connections and younger applicants undertaking their first Arctic expedition organised by others, for instance, by a school, youth group or charity. There is a presumption against low-arctic trips in summer and those relying on fixed accommodation. Priority is given to applicants who have not previously benefited from the Scottish Arctic Expedition Fund. Recipients are expected to submit a report of their expedition by October 31st of the year in which their expedition takes place. This should be at least 500 words and will be made available to those planning future expeditions. Award recipients will also be invited to give a 10 minute slide presentation at the Scottish Arctic Club's Annual Gathering in November.
