Back
01 February 2010
Clì Gàidhlig is a nationally recognised organisation and registered charity.
The organisation aims to encourage and attract new users to the Gaelic Language. It also provides support and advice for ongoing learners of the language at all levels.
Fund - Cuideachadh Luchd Ionnsachaidh Ùra
Clì Gàidhlig is piloting a package of grant support for new users who wish to learn Gaelic. Clì Gàidhlig aims to support the increased use of Gaelic by raising the number of new users to the language. Clì aims to do this by facilitating attendance at Gaelic classes for those learners who are unable to do so at present due to lack of funding.
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.
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.
How to apply
You must submit a fully completed application form which is available from Clì Gàidhlig’s office or on our web-site. Contact details as above.
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.
