Jo Walters Trust Maths Grants 2022
In a much altered world, education remains a priority for children and young people. What we have learnt from weeks of remote learning and home schooling is the value of inspirational teaching - now more than ever. Do you have a project that could have a real and lasting impact on children learning maths? If you do, please apply for one of our grants this year - read on for how to do so.
- Would you like to inspire your students?
- Could your idea raise attainment and promote a love of Maths?
- Would a grant of £1000 help achieve this goal?
Apply for a 2022 Aberdeenshire Grant
In 2022 (as in previous years), a number of grants of up to £2,000 each will be made available by the Jo Walters Trust to people or organisations with a strong link to Aberdeenshire. In these ongoing extraordinary times, we are again inviting applications for project funding that will provide educational opportunities to people in the outdoors. Helping to facilitate people learning in the outdoors is one of the most valuable things we can do, particularly after another year when many have felt constrained and contained.
We'd love to hear from you if you have plans that you believe could help more people get outside to learn something! Whether it's for groups, families, individuals or schools, if you think a grant of up to £2,000 would help you achieve it please do apply below.
