Launch of the 2023 MOD Education Support Fund (ESF)

The fund has £3 million to award, and applications can be accepted from state schools, free schools and academies in the UK with Service pupils on roll. Applicants will be asked to provide evidence of negative impact of mobility and/or separation and how the funding would help mitigate the effects.

The bidding round will remain open until Friday 30 September 2022. We kindly ask Service parents to share details of the ESF with their children's school.
