Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Funding for Summer SchoolsHII can confirm that the Sutton Trust still support summer schools, but it is on a pupil fee paying basis and you need to make sure that the fees cover both the costs of the Sutton Trust and your costs. However they are very keen to broaden their summer school base and often have waiting lists for course which they will offer alternatives - this does cut costs if you are willing to go this route otherwise extra charges are incurred for advertising.Hope this helps.JAYS Education

Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Funding for Summer Schools
There are a couple of possibilities that spring to mind, but it may be that neither are suitable.
The Sutton Trust support widening participation, and I know they do (or have) supported a lot of Summer Schools, but I think they are now focused far more on research and policy work than the kind of project you are talking about.

The Esmee Fairbain Foundation support lots of educational projects, but they also have quite strict funding criteria and (my understanding is) it must be innovative and expected to make a big difference.

I'm assuming the sums involved are relatively small, have you tried local businesses or Rotary clubs?
Good luck!

I am looking for a funding stream to support a couple of activities scheduled to take place during a science and engineering-focused summer school for a group of 30 post-16 students. All of the students are considering studying a STEM subject at an HEI, and the scheduled activities will include a visit to a local STEM-based employer, plus one leisure activity for them to enjoy. The students are from a wide geographical area (Britain and beyond) and this seems to be the stumbling block when looking for funding.I have exhausted the usual routes (Aimhigher, LEA G&T budgets, etc), and I wondered if anyone had any success with alternatives, please?All ideas gratefully received!Many thanks in advance for your help.Kind regardsAngela Carpenter
