Who can apply

Scots (by birth or residence) who are under 30 years of age.

Consideration will also be given to applicants with strong Scottish connections and younger applicants undertaking their first Arctic expedition organised by others, for instance, by a school, youth group or charity. There will be a presumption against low-arctic trips in summer, and those relying on fixed accommodation.

Priority will be given to applicants who have not previously benefited from the Scottish Arctic Expedition Fund.

When to apply

The application must be received by the Expedition Fund Secretary by 31st January of the year in which the expedition is taking place. If you are applying to other funding bodies you may submit a copy of your other application, provided that this covers all of the information requested in our own form.

Next deadline: 31 Jan 2026
