CUIDEACHADH DO LUCHD-IONNSACHAIDH ÙRA (CLIÙ)
New Funding Opportunity For Gaelic Learners
Clì Gàidhlig aims to support the increased use of Gaelic by raising the number of people attending Gaelic classes. This funding will enable Clì do assist people who do not have funding at present.
Under Clìù funding Clì Gàidhlig may offer support towards direct expenses incurred in the following areas:-
- Childcare
- Travel
- Accommodation
- Unsuccessful applicants for ILA assistance
- Added costs incurred because of mobility/disability problems
- A one-off set-up grant for new tutors of the language
Who can apply?
Applicants will normally be new to Gaelic learning, or lapsed elementary learners who wish to progress in their learning and usage of the language. Applicants must ensure that the Gaelic course they wish to attend is a properly constituted and registered course. The courses may be run by a local authority, local colleges, Clì Gàidhlig and other providers of Gaelic courses.
Applicants must also be over 16 years of age.
Applicants must be resident in Scotland.
Application Form
An application form can be downloaded from this website. You must submit a fully completed application form to us before the start of the course.
Other Information
Assistance will not be offered in retrospect. Clì Gàidhlig must approve the application before commencement of any course. Only one offer of funding assistance can be offered in any one financial year. There is a limited fund currently available and Clì Gàidhlig reserve the right to suspend applications when the fund is exhausted. Clì Gàidhlig will be monitoring the scheme and will make changes as necessary to ensure fairness and accountability within the fund.
Clì Gàidhlig is grateful to Bòrd na Gàidhlig, the national development agency for the promotion of Gaelic, for their financial contribution to this fund.
