Science in supplementary schools

Grants available to promote science in your school

Each year, the BSA makes grants available to schools and organisations to help them put on events or activities for British Science Week. Grants may be used to fund a range of activities – from inviting a speaker to providing resources or organising a trip.  In 2016, we will have a number of grant schemes available, providing small pots of funding from £200 to £700.
