• All students who successfully applied for EMA in 2009/10 will continue to receive payments at the level set out in their EMA Guarantee for each week they are in education or training, until the end of the 2011/12 academic year.


• Those students who successfully applied for the maximum weekly EMA payment of £30 in 2010/11 will be eligible for £20 for each week they are in education or training, until the end of the 2011/12 academic year.


• Those students who successfully applied for £10 or £20 weekly EMA payments in 2010/11 will not be eligible for transitional support in 2011/12. However, they may be able to apply to their school, college or training provider for support from the 16-19 Bursary Fund.

This scheme is now closed to new applicants. However, if you are on the second year of a 2 year course, you will continue to receive payments of £30 per week, based on 100% attendance. Contracts will be sent to you in the post.
