The Bob Savage Memorial Fund

The Bob Savage Memorial Fund assists Palaeontology and Paleobiology MSc and PhD students at the University of Bristol with research-related expenses. This fund covers the costs of fieldwork, museum visits, and conference attendance, supporting students in advancing their research and professional development in palaeontology and related fields. The maximum award is £500, though the fund expects to allocate more awards up to £250. Larger awards may not always be available depending on fund availability. The fund is designed to support students who may not have access to other expense budgets, particularly those studying MSci Palaeontology and Evolution, MSc Palaeobiology, or PhD students in the Palaeobiology Research Group. Applications are accepted twice annually with deadlines on September 15 and March 15. Applicants must submit a single PDF containing a research plan, cost summary, justification for funding need, and CV to Professor Michael Benton.
