Can I apply if I am a student / if my project involves students?

Students are not eligible to apply for Creative Scotland funding. We don’t support students for their studies, living costs, tuition fees or for any funding related to any full-time, long-term, formal or accredited programmes of education in the UK or abroad. The Scottish Government produces a guide to funding for learning and training which gives an overview of the funding support available for this.

Additionally, students are not eligible to apply for funding for any artistic or creative work until they have graduated from their course. The only exception to this is part-time PhD students, who can apply if the creative activity is not part of their accredited study. We will require written proof that this is the case from your PhD supervisor.

Finally, any group or organisation applying for a project which primarily works with or involves students (like a student society or student drama group) is not eligible for this fund.
