What to do if unsuccessful in your CIF application

Academies and sixth-form colleges recently learned from the DfE (Department for Education) the results for the funding applications for a variety of projects to improve the condition of their buildings and estates.

This year just under £450 million has been allocated for 866 projects at 733 different institutions. This marks a decrease from the 1,033 projects funded last year and the 1,408 projects funded the year before, highlighting the growing competitiveness in securing CIF funding.
