Grant Funding For Schools

What is it?

The Scottish Library and Information Council has announced that the Scottish Library Improvement Fund (SLIC) has re-opened for applications. School Library Managers in Scottish state schools can apply for funding to support innovative projects in Scotland’s school libraries.

Previously supported include a teenage sensory reading programme in the Highlands and a mental health and wellbeing initiative in Clackmannanshire.

There are no minimum or maximum grant amounts but projects must be completed within twelve months. SLIC accepts up to two applications per local authority.

Every local authority in Scotland has identified a Key Contact for Schools and SLIF applications must be collaborated with them before submission. It is very important that applications are signed by the Key Contact.

How do I get involved?

The deadline for applications is the 30th September 2019. Collaborative bids are welcomed, these may be from two schools or a school and another organisation e.g. the Scottish Book Trust.
