Education Maintenance Allowances (EMAs)

The Education Maintenance Allowance scheme is a government scheme that gives financial support to young people attending college courses. You could receive up to £30 a week plus additional bonus payments worth up to £500. For more information visit Student Services or the EMA website.

Access Funds

Access funds are available to some students who are unable to claim the EMA. If you or your parents are on benefits you may be eligible for Access payments. You can pick up an application form from Student Services.
