The Turing Scheme will provide funding for more than 40,000 participants from schools, colleges and universities to study and work across the globe during the 2021-22 academic year. 48% of these opportunities will be for disadvantaged participants.

Turing Scheme assessors received training early this year in preparation for bid assessment. The team that is processing applications and subsequent projects will receive ongoing training to support the delivery of the scheme.

All assessments on applications have been completed. All applicants have now been notified of the outcome of their application. A list of all funded organisations in higher education, further education and schools, as well as all destinations countries and territories, can be found on the Turing Scheme website at: https://www.turing-scheme.org.uk/project-community/funding-results/.
