ILA Scotland Funding – Book a Course

ILA Scotland – it Pays to Learn

ILA Scotland is a simple way to get up to £200 a year towards the cost of learning something new. It’s a Scottish Government scheme for people with an income of £22,000 a year or less or who are on benefits. The money is not a loan – so you don’t have to pay any of it back.

The funding is available to British citizens as well as those from other countries who have taken up residence in Scotland. For the full criteria required to meet the funding see www.ilascotland.org.uk.

Its easy to apply for ILA funding and the funding can be used to part pay for any of our eligible courses.
