Summer 2010
Grant Round 14 is live and available for universal access programmes
We welcome applications from schools who share the charity’s conviction that all pupils need access to learning technologies when and where they need them, especially at home.
The Home Access programme has increased awareness of the need for children to have access to a computer at home, but the offer was restricted to families eligible for Free School Meals and at Key Stage 2 and 3 only. This latest grants round will help schools give low income families the opportunity to participate in an e-learning programme at an affordable level.
Schools planning to apply should note that they will be required to address the issue of home connectivity and must be affiliated to the Foundation. Schools who are not affiliated should contact the e-Learning Foundation for details or go to the website www.e-learningfoundation.com
Deadline for applications is 5pm on Friday June 11th 2010 which will allow enough time for schools who wish to launch their programmes to their parents before the summer holidays.
