SCHOOLS, colleges and universities have until the end of the week to apply for a grant to help cut their energy use and save money.
The £150,000 scheme from the North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub will provide capital grants to education providers that are hoping to create solar energy projects in order to reduce their energy bills.
