What is the STEM Club Bursary?

The STEM Club Bursary is a support package for local primary and secondary schools to help fund the start-up and growth of STEM clubs. Whether it’s starting a new club, introducing a new activity or project, or increasing the number of participants at an existing club, we can help.

Through the Bursary, we provide support that is tailored to your specific needs. This could include equipment/kits, learning resources or mentor/volunteer time – whatever you need to make your project a success. You can see examples of our previous work here.

The Bursary is open to applications at any time (there are no fixed cycles) and, although there are no fixed award limits, we can grant support up to the value of several hundreds of pounds.

How does the Bursary work?

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a potential application with us first, please get in touch. We are happy to talk through your ideas and help you work out what you need.

Please apply online. Our team will be notified automatically of your application. We will contact you to seek any further information required and/or to let you know whether and how we can support.

If you receive Bursary support, we ask for two things in return:

• You bring the result(s) to our Schools' TEXPO at the end of the appropriate academic year.
• Some feedback on how it helped you (for example, a story to be published on our website).

Any support we provide will be tailored to your needs and individually negotiated. Typically, we would purchase any materials for you (rather than distribute cash directly).
