STEM Grant for Schools
The study of STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is becoming increasingly important for young people in today’s competitive jobs market. The Royal Institution (RI) is offering UK state schools grants of up to £500 to host a STEM ‘enrichment and enhancement’ activity for their teachers and students. Funded by the Causeway Foundation, the scheme is designed to integrate STEM activities (such as shows, talks and workshops) into school practice and to support teachers’ professional development.
Successful applicants will receive £500 towards any activity listed on the STEM Directories as long as it is held before the end of July 2016. Eligible state-funded schools, academies and FE colleges must complete an online application form available on the STEM Directories website by 7th February 2016 if they wish to apply for a grant.
