Who can apply: Eligible primary and secondary state schools. Allocation considers factors such as free school meal eligibility, ethnic diversity, special educational needs, and rural location.
The Engineering and Technology Board, operating through EngineeringUK, focuses on inspiring young people into engineering and technology careers, with a strong emphasis on reaching students from underrepresented backgrounds in UK state schools. Its support is highly practical and programmatic, favoring hands-on STEM outreach, career inspiration, and curriculum-linked activities that connect classroom learning to real-world engineering, climate, and sustainability challenges. The funder’s work is closely tied to national talent pipeline goals, diversity in the sector, and the broader transition to net zero.
Small, targeted bursaries and program support, typically £500-£750, mainly for UK state primary and secondary schools. Funding appears to be distributed through specific initiatives such as Big Bang at School and Neon, with support used for teacher cover, equipment, travel, and activity enhancements rather than unrestricted grants.
