Schools Funding

Don’t let a lack of funds stop your school from taking part in Maths Week Scotland. Apply for financial help through the Schools Enrichment Fund.

Small Grants Fund

The Maths Week Scotland Small Grants Fund is a partnership between the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and the Glasgow Mathematical Journal Trust.

The Fund provides awards of either exactly £250 or £500 and is open to organisations, partnerships and individuals that require support to participate in, or to lead the development of activity for, Maths Week Scotland 2024 at local, regional and national level including: schools, early learning and childcare providers, local authorities, community and family learning providers, parent councils, colleges, universities and Third Sector organisations.

The deadline to apply is 5pm on Monday 2 September.

The Small Grants Fund for 2024 is now closed.

Schools Enrichment Fund

If you are looking for a funding boost for your maths activities the Schools Enrichment Fund at the Edinburgh Mathematical Society is open for applications year round and funds maths activity beyond the school curriculum.

Examples of some of the previously funded projects are:

  • Transport for pupils from isolated rural schools to attend events such as Enterprising Maths.
  • P7 Maths Days for pupils from feeder primaries to help ease the primary/secondary transition.
  • Maths/puzzle clubs and "puzzle of the week" competitions.
  • Mathematics Masterclasses.
  • Revision events and study camps for Higher and Advanced Higher pupils.
  • Whole-school maths "roadshow" events.
  • Cross-curricular projects with a substantial mathematical element, such as mapping and building a scale model of the school.

Applications are welcome from anyone supporting primary or secondary school learning.
