Funding Opportunities
Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)
The Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) is a weekly financial allowance of £30 per week provided to eligible young people aged 16-19 years old who continue in full-time education after their 16th birthday or participate in an Activity Agreement. The allowance is designed to support young people in staying on at school or college. Eligibility is dependent on household income and the number of dependent children, with household income thresholds of £24,421 for households with one dependent child. Recipients must complete and adhere to the terms and conditions of a Learning Agreement with their school or college, which sets out expectations for attendance, coursework and progress. Once approved, the EMA is paid on a fortnightly basis directly into the student's bank account. Applications are accepted according to the student's date of birth, with specific application windows and a closing date of 31 March 2026 for the 2025/2026 academic year.
Free School Meals and Clothing Grants
Moray Council provides financial assistance to families on low incomes through free school meals and clothing grants. All P1-P5 children are eligible for free school meals, with extended eligibility for P6-P7 and some secondary students whose families receive Scottish Child Payment. Families receiving certain qualifying benefits may also claim a School Clothing Grant of £120 for primary-aged children or £150 for secondary-aged children to assist with essential school clothing costs. The program also provides holiday meal support payments to eligible families during school breaks. Eligible families must receive Income Support, Income-based Job Seekers' Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, support under the Immigration and Asylum Act, or Universal Credit with monthly earned income not exceeding £850. Young people aged 16-18 may apply in their own right if they receive qualifying benefits.
