Gall ysgolion a cholegau wneud cais am grant o hyd at £250 i gefnogi’r cynllun CREST. Mae pob ysgol a choleg yng Nghymru yn gymwys i wneud cais. Mae’r ffurflen gais yn gofyn am wybodaeth am eich math o ysgol, ond bydd ceisiadau’n cael eu hasesu’n unig ar sail y ffordd rydych chi’n bwriadu gwario’r arian.

Mae rhaglen Gwobrwyo CREST yn cael ei chynnal gan Gymdeithas Wyddoniaeth Prydain, a noddir gan Lywodraeth Cymru drwy’r Academi Wyddoniaeth Genedlaethol, er mwyn cydlynu a chynyddu gweithgareddau mewn ysgolion yng Nghymru.
