Funding

We recommend that schools investigate a range of funding sources to give their students the opportunity to participate. Suggested ways of funding a place on the Summer Camp:

  1. School Funds, including Gifted and Talented and Aimhigher.
  2. Consortium Funds, including Creative and Media Diploma.
  3. Self Fundraising – Indicative within the new diplomas is the development of entrepreneurial skills and, as such, engaging students in fundraising activities could prove to be significantly empowering.
