M.A. Fritz Travel Grants for the Advancement of Studies in Palaeontology

The Palaeobiology Division of the Royal Ontario Museum's Department of Natural History offers annual M.A. Fritz Travel Grants for the Advancement of Studies in Palaeontology. 
Funded through an endowment created by Madeleine A. Fritz, former curator at the ROM, two awards will be offered annually to help offset the costs of visiting and studying ROM paleontology collections: one for the study of fossil invertebrates (including plants and trace fossils) and one for vertebrate fossil study. These awards are intended for students working towards a Masters or Ph.D. degree in paleontology. Each award is for a maximum amount of $750 Canadian, to be used toward travel and lodging expenses only. 
The annual deadline for receipt of proposals is March 15.
