Engage: Simply CREST BSA want more young people – particularly those most likely to be underrepresented in STEM - to have their project work celebrated through getting a CREST Award. BSA don’t want even the relatively low cost of CREST submission fees to be a barrier, so this year they are offering Engage Simply CREST - a simple way to access free CREST Awards. There is no cash grant; successful applicants that do CREST projects in their school will be get up to £350 CREST Awards for free. That’s enough to recognise and reward a whole year group in many secondary schools, or even a whole primary school. If you’re successful you will receive a voucher code to cover the CREST Award fees (up to £350) due when you submit your students’ CREST Awards.
