New Music Scotland CPD Fund

Travel costs, childcare responsibilities, accommodation expenses, and the practicalities of accessibility can all present significant obstacles to engaging with live new music, as well as attending workshops, conferences, and other forms of continuing professional development (CPD).

The CPD Access Fund has been developed in response to these realities. It offers financial support towards travel, childcare, and accommodation costs, helping to ease some of the practical pressures and make it more possible for people to attend the events that matter to their work and development.

What's on offer

Grants of around £50 to contribute towards your travel, childcare and accommodation costs

Who can apply

This fund is specifically designed to support NMS Members’ who:

Living in remote or rural areas of Scotland

Are on a low income

Have access needs that create additional barriers to attendance

Deadline: 7th July 2026
