British Science Week ‘Kick Start’ grants

Schools can apply for grants to organise their own science and engineering events for British Science week 2025.

The British Science Association is accepting applications for British Science Week ‘Kick Start’ grants from September.

As part of British Science Week, which is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths, state-funded schools in challenging circumstances can apply for grants to organise their own science and engineering events. The aim is to engage children who might not otherwise choose to participate in science, and to promote cross-curricular learning.

There are four levels of grants that schools can apply for:

  • Kick Start Grant
  • Kick Start Youth Grant
  • Kick Start More Grant
  • Combined Kick Start Grant and Youth Grant

To be eligible, students must be from a school that fulfils one or more of the following criteria: over 30% of pupils eligible for pupil premium or equivalent; over 30% of pupils from ethnic minority backgrounds; located in a remote and rural location.

Applications open September 2024.
