Have you ever needed that extra
funding to get an Earth Sciences initiative off the
ground, make a field trip viable or perhaps to help a
particularly deserving student? That’s where TBT can
help.
TBT was set up specifically to
promote and encourage the appreciation, education and
public awareness of Earth Sciences. The Trust is a
charity which relies on donations from career Geologists
and others wishing to support the teaching of Earth
Sciences.
TBT welcomes applications for
funding from schools across the age range and other
bodies needing financial support for Earth Science
initiatives. |
