Do you have a great idea for bringing research alive in school?

Partnership Grants of up to £3000 are available to schools to enable students, aged 5 – 18, to carry out science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) projects.

• Deliver a better understanding of the latest developments in STEM;

• Improve perceptions of those working in STEM professions;

• Give students pride and ownership in STEM from participation in the investigative process.

• Applications need to be made jointly between the two project partners, where the partnership needs to be established before starting the application. The two partners are: 

  • School partner: any teacher or support staff at the main school, such as a computing teacher or a science technician; and a

  • STEM partner: an individual that is currently working in a STEM related profession, such as a researcher or analyst.
