EMA for E2E

EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) is a weekly payment worth up to £30 for students who are planning to start year 12 in a school or FE College in September 2007. EMA is paid in addition to other support and benefits provided by the Government and your family won’t lose out on other money if you get EMA. There are also bonuses of £125 if you remain on your course and make good progress with your learning. And what is more, payments will be made direct to your bank account.
