Bursaries for Teachers

Thanks to generous support from the Ogden Trust, we are able to offer bursaries to support teachers and other relevant teaching-related staff (e.g. laboratory technicians) who wish to attend the Outreach & Education day at the Royal Astronomical Society National Astronomy Meeting. Individuals are eligible for an award that covers free 1-day registration on Tuesday 2 July, including refreshments, lunch and a £50 bursary to cover travel and other expenses. Priority for this support will be given to state schools in deprived areas, remote rural locations, and school with high percentage of students entitled to free school meals.

If you would like to be considered for this support, please fill in an application form and email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If your attendance at the meeting is contingent on receiving a bursary, please do not register until you have been informed of the outcome of your application for support. If you are awarded a bursary, the organisers will be in touch with details of how to register. In the event that an application is unsuccessful, individuals can still register online to attend on line at their own expense. General registration will remain open until 14 June.
