Grant News

Schools, colleges and universities can now apply for funding to provide young people with international study and work opportunities.

The funding is being made available through the Government’s Turing Scheme, which aims to give students the chance to develop new skills, gain international experience and boost their employability, particularly for young people from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds.

Funding will vary depending on the type of placement and the country visited, and will help to cover:

• travel costs for a return journey
• living cost contributions
• organisational support
• passports, visas application fees, vaccines, medical certifications and travel insurance for disadvantaged students
• language learning for students on FE placements
• specialist support for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) – including students with additional learning needs (ALN) in Wales and additional support needs (ASN) in Scotland
• staff accompanying students on schools and FE placements

The deadline for applications is 4pm on the 21st March 2024.
