In order to support schools participating in NTLT or STEM programmes, the Trust has established a modest transport budget for NTLT Partner Schools. Match funding will be awarded for STEM or NTLT related activities on a needs basis, in order to enable wider participation. If your school needs assistance in paying for transport, please complete the form below. Applications will be assessed on a needs basis and you will be informed within 10 working days if your application has been successful.
