The Individual Learning Account (ILA) Scotland is a simple way to get up to £500 a year towards the cost of learning something new. It's a Scottish Government scheme for people with an income of £22,000 a year or less or who are on benefits. The money is not a loan - so you don't have to pay any of it back.

To be eligible for funding you must be aged 16 or over, earn £22,000 a year or less and be an ordinary resident in Scotland.

There are two schemes available ILA Scotland £200 and ILA Scotland £500 funding.

ILA Scotland £200 Funding

Low income learners can use this type of funding to help cover the cost of many courses offered by Angus College.

ILA Scotland £500 Funding

The £500 scheme is specifically designed to help cover the cost of part-time higher education courses. You must be studying for 50% or more of the time needed to complete a full-time higher education course. Most of our HNC and HND courses are covered by this scheme.
