The Brilliant Club is a UK-wide charity working to increase the number of pupils from underrepresented backgrounds accessing and succeeding at highly selective universities. It mobilises PhD researchers to deliver university-style learning in state schools through The Scholars Programme and supports transitions into university via Join the Dots. Its Parent Power initiative empowers families to advocate for fairer education. Operating across all four nations, the charity aims to address educational inequality by combining grassroots engagement with systemic change.

We’re proud to be partnering with The Brilliant Club to bring beyond-the-curriculum STEM courses to over 500 less advantaged students across the UK this academic year.

Through The Scholars Programme, students will explore cutting-edge topics like gene editing, MRI technology, and climate science – guided by PhD researchers and supported with visits to competitive universities.

Together, we’re opening doors to higher education and empowering the next generation of innovators.
