Application for 2025
The process and timeline for the 2025 award is:
- Course leaders to make students aware of the John Day Bursary at the start of the course (late September to early October).
- It is understood that most dissertation topics are chosen between January and April.
- Students to submit an application (see attached) by Friday 30th May 2025, which includes an overview of their dissertation proposal and must be signed off by their supervisor. Their dissertation must be a groundwater-related topic to qualify for the award. Course leaders or supervisors may wish to identify and encourage students who have potential to submit a good quality application.
- Winner will be notified in August 2025. It is expected that the student will be available to present a poster on their dissertation at the Ineson Lecture in November 2025.
The bursary has a value of £1,000 and the successful applicant also receives a 1-year free membership of IAH, as well as the prestige of receiving the award. The bursary winner is also invited to submit a poster for presentation at the annual Ineson Lecture, usually held in November at the Geological Society, London. Please note that the bursary winner may use the monies as they wish.
