    News/Events Category: Funding and Finance


    The British Science Association, with funding from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, is providing grants for schools in challenging circumstances to organise their own science and engineering events.

    There is a £400 grant available to allow you to put on events during British Science Week (07-16 March 2025).

    For organisations that are not schools, a separate Community Grants programme is available.

    Fund award sizes

    Maximum: £400

    Notes on award amounts: £400 is available for your school to run science events during British Science Week. This is a chance from previous years where amounts depended on activities, and is a now a simplified approach.

    2. The school is in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland
    3. The school is a state-funded school. Independent Special Schools that receive local authority funding for pupil places are also eligible. The school is not academically selective

    • A minimum of 30% of pupils are from ethnic minority backgrounds*
