Details
EMA (education maintenance allowance) has been replaced with the 16 to 19 bursary fund. This fund is distributed to schools, colleges and work-based training providers to provide financial support to young people aged 16 to 19 participating in full-time education or training. We want the most vulnerable young people to be assured of a specific level of support.
