Creative Scotland and Young Scot have launched a new fund to support young people, aged 15-22, in activities which allow them to flourish within the creative industries.
Want to get into the creative industries? Do you have an enterprising idea or project? The Creative Enterprise Fund can offer awards of up to £200 for individuals or £750 for groups of three of more young people, where two thirds of any group are aged between 15-22.

The Creative Enterprise Fund can support a variety of enterprising ventures within the creative industries.
The Creative Enterprise Fund aims to support young people to progress into, and flourish within, the creative industries. It aims to encourage enterprising and innovative ideas and assist young people to become creative leaders.
The fund is unable to award funding for holiday schools/courses or provide support for travel and living expenses.
The fund is unable to support projects or activities that have already started. Therefore we strongly advise that you submit an application at least ten weeks before the project/activity start date.
Further details on the criteria for the fund can be found on the PDF application form on the right hand side of this page under "Related Documents".
The fund is open to young people living in Scotland aged 15-22. Applications from professional creative organisations cannot be accepted.
Detailed information on the criteria for the fund can be found on the PDF application form on the right hand side of this page under "Related Documents".
Applications should be submitted using the Creative Enterprise Fund application form. A link to the PDF form can be found on the right hand side of this page.
We advise all applicants to read the guidance notes prior to applying. The guidance notes for applicants can be found on the right hand side of this page under "Related Documents".
Applicants are required to provide details of a referee as part of their application. The referee should be someone independent who knows you/your group, including your experience and skills, and would be able to comment on your application if contacted by Young Scot.
