Funding for engineering projects and activities in schools


Engineering Education Grant Scheme


www.theiet.org/fund Up to £15,000 for educational projects.


The IET and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) have merged their educational grant schemes to form the Engineering Education Grant Scheme (EEGS).


The scheme supports projects that aim to engage young people aged 5-19 in learning about engineering, and to develop the professional skills of those involved in supporting STEM learning and careers awareness. The EEGS also supports projects that improve wider engineering literacy.


Any organisation or individual able to develop and deliver STEM activities to a UK audience can apply for funding.


There are two funding rounds each year, in spring and autumn. Find further information and application forms at www.theiet.org/fund.


School Grants Scheme www.iop.org/schoolgrants


The Institute of Physics (IOP), the IET and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) provide schools with up to £600 for projects, to participate in activities or purchase materials not normally covered by school budgets.


The scheme awards funds up to £600 for projects linked to the teaching or promotion of physics or engineering and is open to all UK educational organisations teaching students aged 5-19. There are three opportunities to apply each year, with deadlines in February, June and November. Further information, including guidance notes and examples of funded projects, can be found on the IOP website www.iop.org/schoolgrants.
