In 2006, we granted $140,000 to the Sutton Trust to support the Imperial College Mathematics Summer School from 2006 to 2010

The Sutton Trust makes grants to projects that provide educational opportunities for able young people from non- privileged backgrounds. The projects range from early years (0-3 year olds), through primary and secondary schooling, to further higher education, including research projects, with an emphasis on innovative start-up projects with the scope to benefit large numbers.

In late 2006, the Sutton Trust launched a Mathematics Summer School in partnership with the Imperial College London. The school aims to raise awareness and enthusiasm of mathematics as an indispensable tool for understanding the world. The course will include advice on routes to further study, higher education and wide-ranging careers, as well as give an experience of what university life is like.
