FREE CREST Awards for Bristol Schools
CREST is a nationally recognised scheme for student-led project work in the STEM subjects. The Awards are flexible and can be run in schools, clubs or at home. With no set timetable, projects can start whenever you want, and take as long as you need.
Mewburn Ellis LLP, is offering free Awards and funding for schools serving disadvantaged students in Bristol, Cambridge, London and Manchester.
The funding will cover Award fees at all levels (Star/SuperStar, Discovery, Bronze, Silver & Gold) for eligible schools between October 2020 – March 2021. Mewburn Ellis is also providing £100 additional funding to invest in resources for the first ten schools per region to register.
