The British Phycological Society has set aside funds to support students attending the Society's Winter Meeting and other meetings significantly concerned with algal biology, including non-award-bearing courses (for example at field centres) primarily concerned with algae.

It also welcomes applications from scientists from Eastern Europe and developing countries for attendance at such meetings.

Funds are not unlimited, so preference will be given to students presenting papers or posters at the winter meting. For meeting applications, preference will be given to those presenting posters or papers and to attendees on courses over those simply attending meetings. In all cases, preference will be given to members of the British Phycological Society. Students and others may join the Society concurrently with their application.
