Who can apply?

From your 16th birthday till your 19th, you're eligible.

Also, if you're a full-time volunteer (30+ hours a week) aged between 19 and 25 (up to your 26th birthday) who meets the criteria for Project Scotland, you can have a National Entitlement Card.

Ask your local line manager, volunteer manager or placement coordinator to apply for you (they'll need to provide a letter confirming you volunteer with them and you provide a passport-type colour photo of yourself) or ring 0141 272 7175 for help.

Of course, you've also got to be living in Scotland.
