Fund future engineers to help meet net zero

Empower young people to become the engineers of climate solutions

The UK’s transition to net zero depends on the next generation of engineers and innovators.

• Up to 725,000 new jobs are needed for the net zero transition
• 35% of young people want careers that reduce climate impact
• STEM careers activities make students 3.4× more likely to consider engineering

Many young people – particularly from underrepresented backgrounds – face barriers to access STEM experiences that spark ambition and open doors. But you can help.

Funding the Neon bursary scheme removes those barriers. With your support, schools can inspire young people to explore careers in STEM and environmental sustainability – and you make a tangible contribution to the UK’s net zero future. We know that every £500 reaches 100 students.
