Young Scot Creative Enterprise Fund Announces New Round
The Creative Enterprise Fund is designed to support young people in Scotland, aged 15-22, with activities which allow them to flourish within the creative industries.
The Fund aims to encourage enterprising and innovative ideas and assist these young people to become creative leaders.
Funding is available to individuals and groups. The maximum amount available to individuals is £200 and the maximum available to groups is £750.
The Fund can support a variety of creative ventures. Examples of eligible projects include:
- running a local youth dance class;
- producing theatre productions;
- getting a band off the ground; or
- making a career out a filmmaking interest.
Young people living in Scotland aged 15-22 are eligible. Applications must be from Young Scot cardholders and include the Young Scot cardholder’s Young Scot card number. If applying as a group, a Young Scot cardholder must fill in the application. Groups are classed as three or more people and at least two-thirds of any group should be aged 15-22 years.
The Creative Enterprise Fund Grants Committee meets every two months. The next deadline for applications is Monday 12 March 2012.
