About the fund
The Education Strategic Fund is designed to enable and support major adaptations to Newcastle University's educational provision. It will fund critical projects that can demonstrate long-lasting impact on education across the institution and branch campuses, enabling the University to remain competitive and resilient to medium- and long-term challenges.
Award criteria
The fund can award up to £250,000 per year to projects that will have major strategic impact. The fund is expected to make awards of between £10,000 and £50,000, and fund 4-6 major projects per year.
Applications made to the fund must make it clear how the project will support the University in making a step change in its education provision. The adaptations we will need to consider in the future are, for example: online provision; blended provision; apprenticeships for the UK market; more alignment to our research strengths; alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals; more international articulation; new transnational education opportunities, and opportunities for our international campuses.
