Individual Learning Account |
 An individual learning account with ILA Scotland is available to everyone aged over 16, earning £22,000 or less and living in Scotland.
Learners who earn £22,000 or less, or who are on benefits, may be eligible for ILA Scotland funding of up to £200 to help pay for a wide range of approved courses. The money is not a loan - so the money does not have to be paid back. Learners must have their ILA Scotland account set up and approved before enrolling on a course of study in order to use the ILA to pay part of the course fees.
