The Physics Benevolent Fund

Untitled (54)

The Physics Benevolent Fund has provided and continues to provide help to people facing a critical need that they cannot otherwise meet.

The Physics Benevolent Fund exists to offer financial help during tough times  and can assist individuals and their dependants hit by financial worries and difficulties brought on by a range of factors including the loss of a job, illness or disability, or meet the need for support because of issues arising during PhD study. Support through the Physics Benevolent Fund can also help ease the stress of financial hardship with issues arising after retirement or following an unexpected life event.

Applicants must be a member of IPEM, and/or a member of the IOP, or the dependant of a member of either organisation.

In certain cases, the Trustees can consider funding for those who are eligible for membership of either IOP or IPEM but unable to afford to take out membership at this time.
