CREST Funding for Underrepresented Audiences
The CREST Awards Scheme is a programme that aims to provide as many young people as possible (in particular those who are currently under-represented in STEM) the experience of behaving like a scientist or engineer by leading their own science/engineering projects to prompt them to see science as part of everyday life and consider it as a career.
CREST Underrepresented Audience Grants aim to broaden the reach of the CREST Awards and enable young people to gain a CREST Award who might face additional barriers to participation.
How much can I apply for?
Applicants can request up to £600 total towards running CREST awards, this breaks down into two categories:
- Up to £300 to cover CREST registration fees
- Up to £300 to spend on support costs for running the Awards, such as CPD for school staff, supply teacher cover, CREST link schemes or a delivery partner, consumables or equipment.
Deadline for applications: 5pm, 14th October 2020.
Applications cannot be accepted after this date.
