The scheme was initiated in 1985, in the "International Year of Youth", and its aim is to help British young people who wish to visit a Scandinavian country. Anyone between the ages of 15 and 25, who is planning to undertake a worthwhile project of a broadly educational nature may apply for a grant from the Fund.

From 1992 to 2003 the CoScan Award Scheme has helped 122 students and given away over £ 10,000, collected through verious means by their member societies.
