The scheme is being run by Moray Council with cash from the Scottish Government’s Place Based Investment Programme.
Councillor David Gordon (Speyide/Glenlivet, Conservative), who chairs the planning committee, said: "I’d encourage those living in Moray’s conservation areas to consider applying for financial support under this scheme.
"Not only will replacement or repaired windows help to reduce the carbon emissions of a home, they can save households money on their energy bill.
"Preserving the heritage of our conservation areas helps to keep Moray’s architecture and historic buildings special."
Having planning permission and/or listed building consent is a requirement.
Residents who don’t have planning permission and are unsure if it is necessary have until December 2 to submit information to the Moray Council to find out whether it is or not.
Applications to the scheme must be submitted by February 10 to localdevelopmentplan@moray.gov.uk.
Moray Council will assess how the funds should be allocated to best preserve and reflect the character of the conservation area.
