Scottish Funding Register 2024

Welcome to EAUC Scotland's Scottish Funding Register (2024).

This Funding Register is aimed at colleges, universities, students unions/associations and partner charities who might work on sustainability initiatives in partnership with tertiary education organisations.

The Funding Register is not exhaustive, but tries to pull together some of the main current funding pots for the sector.

We acknowledge this has been a very challenging funding year, with many major sustainable transport and energy efficiency and decarbonisation funds cut from the 2024-25 funding year.

We have tried to diversify some of the funding areas, so that those with creative minds might be able to apply to funds they wouldn't usually consider, either with a partnership angle or a sustainability angle from a more general fund.
Ultimately many funds work towards wider sustainability goals, as access to education and reduction of poverty are themselves sustainability oriented, as set out in the Sustainable Development Goals.

This resource is correct at the time of publication, but we cannot take responsibility for any missed funding opportunities based on the information contained in the register. 

As this is a very challenging funding year, many funds will be oversubscribed and it is always recommended to register your interest at the earliest opportunity and apply as early as possible.

Have we missed any large funds or provided incorrect information? Please email us via scotland@eauc.org.uk and we will amend and re-upload the resource. 

As updating the Funding Register is an annual exercise for us, we have also included a few websites that are regularly updated for new funds. Do check them to see if there are funding pots we have missed, or which have opened after this resource was published. These are located on the cover page of the spreadsheet.

This register will be periodically updated to keep information correct. The date of the last update was: 9/10/2024

Note: If you are visiting this page from a non-Scottish institution, we have a member-only, UK-wide Funding Sources page.
