Are you planning a climbing trip or expedition between April 2011 and end of March 2012? If so, you might want to consider applying for a bursary from the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS). However the deadline for bursary applications is approaching fast, as applications have to be received by the end of February. Applicants must be members of the MCofS.
The MCofS supports a wide range of disciplines at any venue in the world:
* The MCofS will support traditional style expeditions
* The MCofS will support pure rock or pure ice climbs in less remote settings but which are nonetheless worthy of international recognition.
* The MCofS will support sport climbing and bouldering achievements which are worthy of national or international recognition
* The MCofS will support competitive climbing at National and International level.
* The MCofS will encourage young climbers – children from 14 years old are eligible.
More information about the scheme is available on the MCofS website together with details of previous awards.
