ILA Scotland is a simple way to get up to £200 a year towards the cost of learning something new.

It's a Scottish Executive scheme for anyone over 18 and living in Scotland.

The amount of funding you get, and the courses you can use your funding for, depends on how much you earn.

If you earn £18,000 or less, you can apply for an Individual Learning Account (ILA) that will give you £200 a year towards a wide range of courses from learning providers throughout Scotland.

And the money is not a loan - so you  don't have to pay any of it back.
