Fees and funding — CREST Awards

From January 2025, there have been changes to CREST fees. Click here to see more.

Fees and funding

We aim to keep costs low and participation high, with entry fees starting at £1 per student.

We can maintain this through the kind support of British Science Association supporters, including statutory funders and corporate partners.
