How much and how often

Whether you can get EMA depends on:

  • your age
  • the type of learning you do
  • your household's income.

Do I qualify for EMA?

To get EMA, you must be aged 16, 17 or 18, and be about to leave (or have already left) full time compulsory education.

 

You must also be thinking about starting one of the following types of course or learning programme in England:

  • a full-time further education course at college or school (for example, A levels, GCSEs or NVQs) 
  • an LSC-funded Entry to Employment (e2e) programme; or 
  • a course that leads to an Apprenticeship

How much could I get?

If you qualify for EMA, the amount you get depends on your household income.

This is the combined income of the adults who have responsibility for you in your home, whether that's your parents, another family member or a legal guardian.
