THE ALLT Dearg Educational Trust is accepting applications for 2017.
Young people in further education who will be living away from home can apply for support under the scheme. Priority goes to young people from the areas surrounding Allt Dearg Community Windfarm, so this means those whose local primary school is Ardrishaig, Achahoish, Tarbert or Kilfinan. Next in line are those who went to Lochgilphead or Tarbert for secondary education, and then from the rest of Argyll.
Grants continue until the end of the course, always subject to the young person making progress. With regular donations from Allt Dearg Community Windfarm and Srondoire Community Windfarm totalling over £50,000 a year, another bumper year for new applicants is anticipated.
