Funding to support chemistry in schools
The Royal Society of Chemistry's Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector Education Support Group offers schools support to buy enhanced science equipment and run chemistry clubs
The Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector (BMCS) Education Support Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)-Industrial Technology Forum is inviting bids from schools and colleges for funding (typically £50-£500) to buy equipment to help enhance students' experience of chemistry and science and promote their understanding at all levels.
Applications should outline the equipment sought and its cost, provide brief details on the areas of the chemistry/science curriculum the equipment will support, and, where appropriate, the learning outcomes and skills development that will be associated with its use. You should also indicate why the current school/college teaching budget will not meet the cost of such equipment. Requests for equipment that will be shared between several schools in an area are also welcomed.
