The RSC Secondary and Further Education (SaFE) Group has a limited number of bursaries available to support participation by RSC members in workshops, conferences, and small pedagogical projects. Preference will be given to members planning to speak or present a poster or workshop session.

Bursary values of up to £100 will be awarded to applicants to either:

• facilitate attendance and participation in workshops or conferences, such as the Association for Science Education or SaFE annual conference
• conduct a project aimed at enhancing pupil engagement in chemistry or improving accessibility to chemistry

Applicants should outline how the funding will be used (registration fee, travel costs, equipment, etc.), and justify how the funding will benefit the applicant in their own professional capacity or their pupils’ engagement with chemistry.

Please note the following conditions:

• Applicants must be members of the RSC (affiliate/ associate/ member/ fellow)
• Applications will be judged by committee members of the SaFE Group and awards will be made on the basis of equality, diversity and inclusion
• Successful applicants will be notified by email and bursaries will be paid by electronic fund transfer
• Bursary recipients are encouraged to join the SaFE interest group
• Bursary recipients are required to write a short account (200-400 words) of their participation in the event or the outcomes of the project for the RSC SaFE Group WordPress site. Recipients are also encouraged to post on social media to highlight that they received the funding (the SaFE Group X handle is @SFEd_RSC).

Applications must be submitted using this online form by 17:00 15th January 2025.
