STEM funding available for schools
EUK Education bursaries are now open for applications by secondary schools across the UK. Eligible schools can apply for £700 to support inspiring, hands-on STEM engagement.
The bursary can help your school run activities that build curiosity, confidence and career awareness. It can also help reach students who don’t yet see STEM as “for them”.
Schools that meet our priority schools criteria can apply by 20 July and funding can be used for Neon activities or a Big Bang at School event. Neon offers quality-assured classroom activities linked to real STEM jobs. Topics range from space and health to coding and the environment. Activities are designed to be practical and classroom-friendly, getting students to connect what they learn in school to the world around them. Big Bang at School helps you host a whole-school day of STEM activities. It can include workshops, challenges and project work.
You can use the bursary flexibly to cover resources, activity costs, staffing or travel, helping you tailor your plans to your students and your timetable.
Apply by 5pm on 20 July.
Without the bursary, we wouldn't have been able to offer such fantastic workshops for our school. The students had a great time and are now more inspired than ever to pursue science. There's a real buzz of excitement about science around the school!

A great STEM experience can change how a student sees themselves and their future. Our bursaries help schools bring learning to life with exciting activities. Over 26,000 young people took part in a STEM activity thanks to our bursaries last year. We’re looking forward to more young people building confidence and curiosity through engineering and technology and inspire a diverse future workforce.
