Does your group require a little extra money to get a project or event on the go?
Does your project fall within the mandate of Atlantic Geoscience society (AGS)?
If so, we may be able to provide you with that extra bit of funding you need!
The Products Committee of the AGS is currently accepting loan or grant applications for projects that communicate
ideas about the Earth and earth sciences.
|
Each year, the Atlantic Geoscience Society (AGS) will consider requests for loans and/or grants for projects
products, events, etc) that can be used to help advance the goals of the society, namely: the communication of
ideas and information about the Earth and earth science to both the professional geoscience community and the
general public in Atlantic Canada and beyond.
|
|
AGS does not typically consider requests that are normally under the remit of research funding bodies (e.g. NSERC)
and individual universities (e.g. prizes, awards, travel funds).
|
|
All requests for loans and/or grants must adhere to the appropriate by-law (and associated appendix) of the society,
By-law 44:
|
|
In accordance with the above, all applicants for loans and/or grants should complete and sign the following
"Proposal for Funding" and submit it to the Products Committee of the Society (preferably electronically).
