ChessScotland up till now have spent a hefty chunk of their budget in supporting juniors at international events including in 2012/2013. The support has mostly been in the form of providing a head of delegation and coaches.
With the current financial climate, there must be a very strong chance that those days are in the past.
We could of course consider going down the route of the English Chess Federation. Here is a link to their junior selection policy.

If you scroll down to coaching, you will see that all coaching costs (fees, flights, accommodation, transfers, tuition etc) are paid for solely by parents.
