Scotland
In many respects funding for Scotland differs from that in England. Some of the funding sources listed in this website are not available in Scotland, while others have different programmes for Scottish projects. There are also funds specific to Scotland which are not referred to on this website as it is primarily designed for use in England.
The key elements of making a funding application are the same in Scotland as elsewhere in the UK and the range of issues covered in the information and work sheets should prove useful to you.
Fit4funding newsletter information is designed for England and Wales but may contain funding opportunities that apply in Scotland. For funding information contact:
