Call for Applications: New Higher Education Grant Schemes

Deadline: 26 January 2026, 23:59 (GMT)

We are excited to announce that the LMS Education Committee has launched a call for applications for three new grant schemes which aim to support colleagues building a teaching and scholarship profile within higher education mathematics.

The central aim of these schemes is to support the ‘Pathways in Mathematics’ strategic goal of the LMS Strategy 2023–2028. As such, they seek to:

‘Promote the importance of mathematics and the provision of opportunities for those that wish to study and develop a career in mathematics and its applications’. 


Single-Institution Teaching & Scholarship Project Grants

This scheme provides funding for innovative scholarship projects in general areas related to teaching and learning, curriculum, the student experience and student success. Projects funded under this scheme should take place within a single UK university. 

Grants of up to £2,000 each are available for each project.

Collaborative Teaching & Scholarship Project Grants
