Learning for Sustainability Credit Rating Grant - Call for Bids

Organisations which have programmes or awards based around Learning for Sustainability are invited to apply for a share of a Scottish Government cashpot to fund credit rating. The small cashpot is administered by the SCQF Partnership and all bids which fall under the definition of Learning for Sustainability are invited to apply. Organisations are invited to submit a proposal to have the cost of initial credit rating (up to a maximum of £5,000) covered for a learning programme or award that they own and that has an LfS focus.

In order to qualify for this funding, programmes or awards must prove that they:

• Fit within the LfS definition.
• Have a strong uptake in terms of learners.
• Are mainly (but not necessarily solely) aimed at children and young people up to the age of 18.
• Would be expected to sit at SCQF level 7 or lower.
• Will be made available to learners for a minimum of three years once credit rated.
• Are solely owned by your organisation.

SCQF welcome all bids which fall under the definition of Learning for Sustainability, however they’re particularly keen to fund projects which focus on the areas of social justice and/or global citizenship.

Organisations interested in applying are asked to complete an application form.  Submissions should be made via e-mail to Nicola Smith.

Deadline: 12pm on 10^th November. Each project must be completed by the end of June 2024.
