Legacies Fund

Available exlusively to RMetS members, the Legacies fund is made up of small monetary grants made to members (usually younger scientists) to help finance expeditions, carry out research or attend meteorological conferences, for which adequate funds are not otherwise available. Applicants must have been a member of the Society for at least a year before applying.

Application Forms must be submitted to the Society's postal address, or emailed to membership@rmets.org.
