ASET makes corporate awards for projects aimed at supporting those intending to teach at primary school level, or to specialise in school teaching at any level in Religious Education; Home Economics (including food and nutrition education); Design and Technology (including textiles). This support can include the provision of training (including continuous professional development), classroom, and online resources.
Projects most favoured are those that have the potential to result in lasting benefit, either through the intrinsic quality of the new ideas being put forward, or through the quantity of training or resources, and the numbers of teachers and/or pupils who will share in the benefit.
Corporate applications will be scrutinised carefully to ensure that they are sustainable, give value for money and deliver our mission.
Grants are normally made to fund time-limited projects and not to augment the general funds of recipient institutions.
It is not usual for the Trust to directly fund salaries.
Grants are available for up to three years. The continuation of grants made for more than a year is conditional on such evidence of progress as the Committee may reasonably require.
Before completing this application, you may wish to contact the Clerk to discuss your proposed application. The Clerk will be able to give guidance on prima facie eligibility and compliance with the Trust's Terms of Reference.
You can contact the Clerk by email at clerk@aset.org.uk or at the ASET office:
