The Partnership Grants Scheme supports schools and colleges in working with STEM professionals from academia or industry to deliver hands-on investigative STEM projects. Open to UK-based schools and colleges for students aged 5 to 18, each project must involve both an educational partner and an actively practising STEM professional with relevant expertise. The scheme aims to help young people develop practical STEM and research skills, broaden their understanding of STEM careers, and build lasting partnerships between education and the STEM community. Priority is given to schools and colleges that are new to the programme or have the greatest need, helping to ensure that more students can access high-quality STEM enrichment opportunities.
