Attendance at Feis

If your child wishes to attend a local feis in the Highlands, a grant up to £200 may be awarded for attendance for one week per year.

The Governors will consider applications for financial assistance to, or on behalf of, any child or young person not exceeding 25 years of age. Preference will always be given to children and young persons who are resident within The Highland Council area.

Grants, loans or allowances may be made available for the following purposes only.

· To maintain the beneficiary in suitable accommodation while in need of care or while undergoing any form of full-time education; · For the education of the beneficiary, including their further education at such school, training college, university or other educational establishment as the Governors may consider to be appropriate; · For obtaining suitable employment by the beneficiary, including the payment of any necessary travelling expenses or the cost of temporary accommodation and the cost of entering into, undergoing and completing, any training or apprenticeship; · For setting up the beneficiary in business on their own account, subject to such conditions as to the use, application or repayment of any grant, loan or allowance made for this purpose as the Governors may think fit to impose; · For finding a suitable home for the beneficiary when no longer in need of care or undergoing full-time education or apprenticeship; · For providing the beneficiary with a holiday in cases where the beneficiary would not otherwise be able to go on holiday. Priority will always be given to the provision of a holiday where the child or young person's medical condition indicates that they would benefit from the provision of a holiday. Benefits can only be made available to individuals. Applications from Clubs or other similar organisations cannot be considered.
