School Partnership Bursaries

UK-German Connection offers school partnership bursaries to help keep connections between UK and German schools alive. The bursary provides £1,000 to support UK participants travelling to Germany for direct contact and collaborative engagement between young people in the UK and Germany. The funding is designed to support those who would not otherwise have the chance to take part in international exchange activities. The bursary can be used towards UK pupils' travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs (up to 20% can go towards teachers' costs), joint activities during the German partner school's visit to the UK, and running costs for virtual activities. The programme is open to primary schools, secondary schools, special educational needs (SEN) schools, and further education (FE) colleges in the UK who have an established partnership with a German school.
