Get money for staying on! (EMA)

Did you know that eligible young people can get between £10 and £30 a week for staying on at school or college after the age of 16?

If you are between 16 & 18 and your household income is less than £30,810 a year (2009/10) you could qualify.  

EMA does not affect other income and support benefits going to parents or carers.  If you have a part-time job, in most cases you can still get EMA . 

To find out more, to apply for an EMA or to register, go to www.direct.gov.uk/ema.
