Thinking of staying on? Can you afford to do it
The Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) will be available nationally across England from September 2004 to eligible young people on further education (FE) courses, including "AS and A2s" in school sixth forms, sixth form colleges and FE colleges.
EMA is a weekly payment of up to £30, paid directly to young people who stay on in FE after they reach statutory leaving age. Young people may also receive bonuses of £100 if they remain on their course and make good progress with their learning. Entitlement to EMA depends on an assessment of household income, based on the same rules as the Inland Revenue uses to assess eligibility for Tax Credits.
All young people aged 16 planning to continue their education in school or college from September 2004 can apply. In existing EMA pilot areas young people currently in school/college who plan to continue their education into years 13 or 14 from September 2004 can continue to apply for an EMA
