Partnership Grants

The Partnership Grants scheme funds UK schools and colleges up to £3,000 to work in partnership with STEM professionals from academia or industry to run an investigative STEM project. The scheme is open to all levels of education supporting students aged between 5-18. Schools and colleges that are outside of the UK (except the Channel Islands and Isle of Man) are not eligible to apply. The scheme provides an opportunity for students to develop key skills, including research, problem solving and data-handling skills, which will be invaluable for their future careers. It demonstrates the range of STEM careers available to students, fosters long-term working relationships between schools and colleges and STEM professionals, and fulfils the requirement of Benchmark 8 of the Gatsby Practical Science Benchmarks. Tomorrow's Climate Scientists is an extension to the Partnership Grants scheme and funds schools and colleges specifically researching into climate change and biodiversity, giving students not just a voice but an opportunity to take action themselves to address local climate and biodiversity issues.
