Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)

Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)

EMA is a weekly payment of £10, £20 or £30, depending on your household income. This money is intended to help with such things as travel, books and equipment for your course. There are also £100 bonuses if you show 100% attendance and good progress. You can receive an EMA if your household has an income of £30,810 or less and your course involves at least 12 hours of guided learning per week (such as lectures and supervised study).

For further information call the EMA student helpline 0800 121 8989, visit www.ema.dfes.gov.uk or contact the College Welfare Adviser in Learner Services and Information.
