Explore It! Launch It! Grow It!

The Explore It! Launch It! Grow It! funding programme supports Bath Spa University students and graduates at all stages of business development, from ideation to growth. The programme provides three tiers of funding: Explore It! awards up to £500 for students exploring a potential business or freelance idea; Launch It! awards up to £1,500 for those ready to fully launch after testing their idea; and Grow It! awards up to £5,000 for established business owners and freelancers earning more than £5,000 in revenue annually who are looking to scale their businesses. All funding recipients participate in supportive workshops, and the programme runs twice a year, typically starting in October and March. The programme is delivered by the Careers and Employability Go From Zero team and is supported by Santander Universities.
