Harthill, Eastfield and Greenrigg (HEG) Education & Training Fund
Foundation Scotland
This fund helps people living in Harthill and Eastfield in North Lanarkshire, and Greenrigg in West Lothian, pay for education and training. It is part of the wider HEG Community Fund, provided by the owners of the Torrance and Torrance Extension wind farms and EDF power solutions UK, and run by Foundation Scotland. You can get up to £3,300 over three years, with a maximum of £1,500 in year one. Short courses of under a year can receive up to £1,500 towards fees, travel, childcare and subsistence, based on £15 per day. Full-time courses of a year or longer can receive up to £1,500 in year one and up to £900 in year two. Year three is up to £900 for most courses, or £200 for a Modern Apprenticeship on day-release. Part-time courses of a year or longer can cover fees and costs based on £5 per day, plus up to £600 for equipment in year one. The fund suits anyone aged 16 or over who wants to build skills and improve their job prospects. Courses can last a day or several years. You can take any course or study any subject in sectors including renewables and energy, engineering, construction, STEM, trades, childcare, forestry, haulage and agriculture, along with general employability courses and other education courses. There is no means test, and you can still apply if you receive other support. Applications are open all year. However, your application must arrive before your course starts, and you should allow up to four weeks for it to be processed. Offers for years two and three of multi-year courses depend on the fund continuing. If you are employed, you may be asked for your employer to pay up to 50% of the course fee.

The West Benhar Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund
Foundation Scotland
The West Benhar Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund supports community activity in five communities near the wind farm. In West Lothian, these are Greenrigg and Fauldhouse. In North Lanarkshire, they are Harthill, Eastfield and Shotts. The fund is index linked and totals £150,000 per year across all of these areas. This is a devolved fund. Each community manages its share in line with its own priorities and needs, so the arrangements differ from place to place. Decisions are made by groups within each community. These are the Board of Getting Better Together for Shotts, the Board of the Fauldhouse & Breich Valley Community Development Trust, and the Board of the Harthill, Eastfield and Greenrigg Group. The fund suits community groups and organisations working to benefit people in the area of benefit. There is no fixed grant size. Some of the funding for Shotts and Fauldhouse directly supports programmes of activity run by the local anchor organisations. Where you apply depends on where your project will make a difference. If your activity benefits Harthill, Eastfield or Greenrigg, you can apply directly to Foundation Scotland, which distributes the HEG Community Fund. If your focus is Shotts or Fauldhouse, you need to contact the local organisation instead. There is no single deadline, because each community distributes its share differently. Read Foundation Scotland's application criteria and general exclusions before you apply.

EDF power solutions Burnhead Moss Education & Training (BMET) Fund
Foundation Scotland
The EDF power solutions Burnhead Moss Education & Training (BMET) Fund gives grants to local people who want to start or progress through education and training courses. Foundation Scotland runs it, and EDF power solutions, owners of the Burnhead Moss Wind Farm, pays for it. It suits you if you are 16 or over and live in Avonbridge, Standburn, Limerigg, Slamannan or Blackridge. You can study any subject. Priority goes first to renewables and energy courses, then engineering, construction and other STEM subjects, then trades and other courses that help local employment. Awards can reach £6,800 over a five-year course. For short courses under a year, you can get up to £2,000 towards fees, travel, childcare and subsistence, though awards are normally lower. For full-time courses of a year or more, you can get up to £2,000 in year 1 and up to £1,200 in each later year. Part-time students get a pro-rata amount. Modern Apprentices can get up to £2,000 in year 1. For a limited trial, there is also a £115 grant towards one attempt at the DVLA Theory and Driving Tests once you have passed your Theory Test. There is no means test. The money can cover course fees, travel, meals, childcare, laptops, software, tools, textbooks and specialist clothing. You can apply at any time. For short courses, your application must arrive at least 6 weeks before the course starts or fees are due. The fund cannot pay for short-course costs you have already paid or committed to before you get a decision, so wait for an award before paying a deposit. Driving test requests must arrive at least two weeks before your test date.
