Funding for School Geography Fieldwork (UK & Ireland)

Schools in the UK and Ireland planning geography fieldwork and expeditions are eligible to apply for grants of up to £600.

The Frederick Soddy Schools Awards programme, delivered in association with the Royal Geographical Society, welcomes applications from schools undertaking fieldwork that includes an element of human geography.

The grants aim to enable students aged 5 to 18 years to gain the valuable experience provided by fieldwork, regardless of background or circumstances. Previous awards have supported field trips to destinations such as the Eden Project and Snowdonia.

Grants are awarded on the merits of each project, with priority given to schools not funded the previous year.

The closing date for applications is the 3rd February 2026.

Decisions on applications are normally communicated by mid-March.
