This travel fund is available to all Scottish schools but those who are experiencing greatest disadvantage, according to the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation will be prioritised.

By applying you are accepting these Terms and Conditions and agreeing to receive emails from National Galleries of Scotland connected to this travel fund.

To apply you must tell us why your school would benefit from free travel in no more than 100 words. All applications must be received via this form.

Only one entry per organisation. National Galleries of Scotland accepts no responsibility for applications that are lost, delayed, misdirected or incomplete or cannot be delivered for any technical or other reason. Proof of delivery of the application is not proof of receipt by National Galleries of Scotland.

The closing date for entries is 11pm on 2 June 2023. Applications received outside this time period may be considered for future travel funds.

Applications shall be considered by staff from National Galleries of Scotland who shall decide, at their absolute discretion, the recipients. The decision of National Galleries of Scotland shall be final and binding and no correspondence shall be entered into by National Galleries of Scotland.

The successful schools will receive free bus or train travel for up to 33 children and accompanying adults to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, 73 Belford Road, Edinburgh EH4 3DR.

The recipients will also receive, if requested, a free workshop for up to 33 children. The workshop will be facilitated by National Galleries of Scotland appointed artists and shall last for 2 hours.

There is a total travel fund of £3000 available for use before March 2024 for the purpose of supporting pupils who would otherwise be unable to pay for their travel to visit the National Galleries of Scotland.

The successful schools will be notified by email by 9 June 2023.

If a successful school does not respond to National Galleries of Scotland by 16 June 2023, 12 noon then the National Galleries of Scotland shall be entitled to select another school in accordance with the process described above (and that school will also have to respond to notification within 7 days or else they will also forfeit their free travel and workshop).

The school must be able to redeem their offer prior to March 2024. The name of the successful schools can be obtained after 16 June 2023 by emailing [email protected]

The successful schools are required to organise and pay for their own transport, after confirming the cost with National Galleries of Scotland. We will reimburse the agreed amount, on receipt of:

• an invoice sent by the school, on school headed note paper, to National Galleries of Scotland, Finance, 73 Belford Road, Edinburgh EH4 3DR;
• proof of the cost of travel e.g. a copy of a bus company invoice.

National Galleries of Scotland will not cover costs that have not been agreed in writing in advance by National Galleries of Scotland. We will not cover costs which we believe are not best value for money.

The successful schools may be asked to take part in press activity related to receiving free travel. The school agrees to the use by National Galleries of Scotland, for an unlimited time, of images, photographs and name for publicity purposes (in any medium, including still photographs and films, and on the internet) and in advertising, marketing or promotional material without additional compensation or prior notice and, in applying, all applicants agree to the same.

Some personal data is collected and processed in order to administer this travel fund. Please see the privacy notice below for further information.

In the event that a school or the National Galleries of Scotland has reason to cancel a visit, we will do our best to reschedule at a suitable date. However, we cannot guarantee that this will be possible, especially if there is less than 2 weeks’ notice given.

National Galleries of Scotland accepts no responsibility for any damage, loss, liabilities, injury or disappointment incurred or suffered by you, pupils and accompanying adults, as a result of applying or accepting the free travel or workshop.

National Galleries of Scotland further disclaims liability for any injury or damage to your or any other person's computer relating to or resulting from participation in or downloading any materials in connection with the application.  

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude the liability of National Galleries of Scotland for death, personal injury, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation as a result of its negligence.

National Galleries of Scotland reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, this offer with or without prior notice due to reasons outside its control (including, without limitation, in the case of anticipated, suspected or actual fraud).

Such circumstances shall include, but not be limited to, weather conditions, fire, flood, hurricane, strike, industrial dispute, war, hostilities, political unrest, riots, civil commotion, inevitable accidents, supervening legislation or any other circumstances amounting to force majeure.

This offer will be governed by Scots law and applicants submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish courts.
