We are offering bursaries to schools who work with young people who are under-represented in the engineering profession. This is to help these schools overcome barriers to participating in STEM engagement programmes.
This academic year our bursaries are available for the Robotic Challenge, Big Bang Competition, Big Bang at School and to engage with activities on the Neon website. They range in value from £300 to £1,500 depending on the activity.

Requirements of the bursary
The application process is straightforward and the requirements are small. We only require that participating schools sign and return a simple bursary agreement and also complete an online survey afterwards about how the funds made a difference to them and what they were spent on.
Our equality, diversity and inclusion bursaries are funded by donations from a range of sources, all of which go to schools. Current funders include The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund, individual donors and core funding from EngineeringUK.
