The Sofronie Foundation provides grants for projects that provide young people with skills for jobs and increase access to higher education. There is a particular emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) skills.
Funding is for initiatives that:
- increase access to higher education, such as educational programmes for young people that raise aspirations, build confidence, and develop skills in preparation for university.
- increase access to vocational training, such as initiatives that provide young people with practical skills or offer opportunities of work experience in preparation for future employment.
Funding can be used for all costs associated with project delivery, including staffing costs.
The Sofronie Foundation supports projects in the Netherlands, France and the UK. Registered charities and not-for-profit organisations working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds can apply.
