The Agency has opened its Ulster-Scots Summer Schools Grant scheme.

It is for programmes delivered from 1 July to 31 August 2023 and aims to support community and voluntary groups who wish to deliver a five-day Ulster-Scots Summer School to children aged 7-16 years.

There are two options available for groups:

Standard Summer School

These provide up to 10 different Ulster-Scots workshops and activities. There will be a maximum eligible funding of two hours for each Ulster-Scots activity (maximum of 20 hours' activity).

Drama Summer School

Drama tutors may be funded to deliver a week-long programme, finalising in a drama production. In addition, groups may provide a maximum of five Ulster-Scots workshops and activities.

Please note: All summer schools must deliver an Ulster-Scots language workshop.

Groups are encouraged to read the guidelines and eligible costs before completing an application form.

Applications close at 12 noon on Friday 5 May. Late or incomplete applications will be rejected.
