ASDAN Grants

Did you know that ASDAN gives grants for educational purposes, especially where these help narrow the gaps in attainment between the well-off and the less well-off?

ASDAN is organised as a charitable social enterprise. This means that we have charitable status, and aim to run as a company that holds to a key vision and a set of values.

As a part of this, we have established a charitable fund which provides grants to ASDAN centres to do things differently, especially those that help to increase educational opportunity and help to alleviate the effects of deprivation and poverty, both in this country and overseas.

Each year, we designate a percentage of any surplus funds we generate.

Case Studies

Case studies of centres that have previously been awarded grants from ASDAN can be found in the Case Studies section.

Looking to the Future

We are working on two particular elements of grant funding for the future:

• Supporting active learning in schools and the developing world; if your centre has a link with a school overseas and you think that it might be interested in developing a link with us, we would be interested to hear from you.
• From 2012, providing individual university scholarships amounting to a third of university fees to students who have achieved CoPE Level 3 and meet other criteria. This may be of interest to your current Year 12 students and we would welcome your views on this proposal and the criteria we might apply.

We would be interested to receive your feedback - please email: grants@asdan.org.uk
