EMA

Are you eligible?

You need to be 16, 17 or 18 and have left – or be about to leave – compulsory education.

You need to be enrolled on a course in England which is one of the following:

·         a full-time further education course at a college or school

·         a Diploma funded by the Young People’s Learning Agency (where available) or a course that leads to an Apprenticeship

·         a Young People’s Learning Agency-funded Entry to Employment (e2e) course (if you're on an e2e course, you’ll get the maximum £30 weekly EMA payment regardless of your household income)

To get EMA in the academic year starting September 2010, your annual household income must be below £30,810 (for tax year 2009-10).

And there’s good news if you have a part-time job – any money you earn isn’t included in your overall household income.

If you’re already receiving EMA and want to continue your course, you may be automatically eligible for the same payments during 2010/11 – even if your household income has increased.

See ‘Apply for EMA’ to find out whether you can get automatic payments under the ‘EMA guarantee’

For those students looking to apply for Education Maintenance Allowance please find contact details below where you can request an application form. If you already claim EMA you need to contact them regarding a Learning Agreement Contract.
