Ulster-Scots Summer Schools Grant

23 May 2025

The Ulster-Scots Agency has opened a 2-day Ulster-Scots Summer School Grant Programme for 2025.

The programme is for summer schools delivered from 1 July to 31 August 2025 and aims to support community and voluntary groups who wish to deliver a two-day summer school to children aged 7 to 16 years. 

The summer schools can hold up to 6 different Ulster-Scots workshops or activities, with a maximum eligible funding of 2 hours for each Ulster-Scots activity (a maximum of 8 hours).  

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

Groups interested in applying should follow the link to registration here.

Following a successful registration, a link to an application form, guidelines, and a summer school programme template will be automatically emailed to the group.  

The summer school plan should outline the proposed timetable for the Summer School and is part of the application and assessment process. Groups must use the template provided. (This can be downloaded via the link upon registration.) 

Groups must ensure that they have submitted all the listed supporting documentation – incomplete applications will be rejected.  

Groups can receive up to 75% of eligible costs. All eligible and capped costs are listed in the guidelines. 

Applications close at 3pm on Monday 9 June 2025.
