You will be entitled to Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA). It is not a wage but money to purchase books, equipment etc. EMA is subject to eligibility and the weekly payment of £10, £20 or £30 a week is dependent on household income. To get EMA the young person needs to be aged between 16 and 19 and have left compulsory education. – They will need to be thinking about starting a full-time education course at a College or School – Joining an LSC-funded Entry to Employment (e2e) programme; or – Starting a Programme Led Apprenticeship Young people should apply for EMA as soon as possible so they don’t lose out on payments.
