* Please note: as from 1st March 2025 these Step incentives are set as above with the maximum available being £750. However, for young people with Scottish local authorities the previous levels (double the above, with a maximum of £1,500) will be maintained, since their government is minded to match-fund the cost of the incentives. Also, special arrangements have been made for young people who have completed at least Step 1 by 1st March 2025, who will have until 31st May 2025 to complete additional Steps at the previous levels.
