Science Bursaries for Schools and Colleges
Nuffield Foundation Science Bursaries offer up to 1000 bursaries a year, for students to work alongside professional scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.
Students in the first year of a post-16 science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) course are eligible to apply for a bursary of £80 per week to support them during their project. Placements are available across the UK, in universities, industry or research institutions.
We particularly encourage students from schools in difficult social circumstances, and students who do not have a family background of higher education or STEM professions.
