IOP, IET and STFC School Grants Scheme: can it pay for a STEM workshop?

Short answer

Possibly, with conditions

Dates not confirmedNo open round confirmed. Check the funder's page for dates.

The IOP's published application form lists workshop provision as an eligible project type, but we could not re-check the current scheme page, so confirm the current rules with the IOP before building a bid around a workshop. The school applies itself.

We could not automatically re-check the funder's page. Last confirmed on 26 September 2026. Confirm with the funder before applying. View the funder's page (iop.org)

How to use it for a workshop

Complete the application yourself, choosing workshop provision as the project type, and ask us for a project description, learning objectives and curriculum links to strengthen the bid. £600 covers part of a workshop day, so it reads best as a contribution within a wider pupil project.
