The Education Maintenance Allowance:
Did you know that if you continue to learn and develop your skills post-16, then you could receive up to thirty pounds every week to help out with things like books, travel and equipment............this financial assistance is known as the Education Maintenance Allowance.
This extra cash will come in handy, and because it's paid directly to you, you'll be a little more independent, and you won't have to rely so much on your parents or carers.
The main reason that this type of assistance is made available to you, is that the government wants to encourage you to continue to learn, because skills and qualifications mean that you're likely to earn more money when you get a job. Learning can also help you to work out what you enjoy, what you're good at and what you might want to do in life.
By having access to EMA money, this will make your learning more affordable. You can use the cash to buy the things that you need and you can also get bonuses for performing well on your course or learning programme.
Household benefits will not be affected by EMA payments.
