This scheme provides four small £250, targeted bursaries to support Ulster‑Scots cultural activity across four defined artistic areas:
Section A: Ulster-Scots Dance
Section B: Ulster Scots Drama
Section C: Ulster-Scots Music
Section D: Ulster Scots Speech
The scheme is intentionally narrow in scope to ensure funding is directed at activities with clear cultural outcomes and demonstrable Ulster‑Scots impact.
