Hope Scott Trust grant

The Hope Scott Trust was set up by the late Mrs Hope Scott to help promote Music and the Visual Arts in Scotland. The Trust allocates a proportion of its resources to help musicians with commissions or grants for musical events and it also helps artists and sculptors (with a particular focus on emerging artists) with grants for exhibitions, catalogues and travel etc. Preference is given to applicants who are Scottish by birth, or live permanently in Scotland.

Grants are not given to cover ordinary educational/course fees, except in exceptional cases.  Grants are however given in some cases for additional tuition and associated travel costs in the UK and in other countries.  Literary applications will not generally be considered, however, they may be considered if they are linked to an Exhibition or promotion of an Artist.  The Trust’s remit is strict and unfortunately we are unable to fund documentary film making, crafts, purchase of instruments and undergraduate studies.  We also do not directly fund postgraduate students.
