SCOTLAND FUND GRANT

Over many years the British Association for Early Childhood
Education (Early Education) had close links with the
Scottish Child Care and Education Board (formerly the Scottish Nursery
Nurses’ Board). When SCCEB ceased to exist,
Board members made arrangements to dispose of the organisation’s
remaining assets. We are pleased to announce that Early Education
received a donation for use in Scotland.
Early Education Scotland Fund
This money is available only to Early Education members.
Applicants should, be eligible for registration with SSSC (SVQ level 3
and above) and work in the early years sector in Scotland. Teaching
staff should not apply. Grants from the Scotland Fund are
designed to encourage attendance at CPD events/conferences e.g.
conferences/meetings/workshops concerned with, or closely related to,
early childhood education and care. It should be noted that whilst all
applications will be considered, Early Education is unlikely to support
applications expected to be funded by the applicant’s employer in the
course of his/her own job.
Procedure for Grant Applications:
Applications can be made to Early Education’s Council of Trustees
using the approved application form. Please refer to the Guideline notes
for completion. Applications can be made at any time and should be
submitted prior to the event/conference taking place. In exceptional
circumstances retrospective applications may also be considered (see
Guidance Notes).
Completed forms should be returned to:

which will be used to monitor uptake of grants.

may still be able to accept further applications providing a year has

supplement funding from other sources. In any case a maximum grant is
set at £100.

funded by employers in the course of the applicant’s job.
