About This Opportunity
The Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) provides financial support to young people aged 16 to 19 who want to continue their education. The allowance is designed to help students stay in learning by providing weekly financial assistance. Students receive £30 per week during the academic year, provided they meet their agreed attendance requirements as outlined in their learning agreement or action plan. Each academic year, students must apply to their local council or college for EMA and complete a learning agreement. Payment is conditional upon meeting the attendance requirements specified in the learning agreement.
