Am I eligible for EMA?
You can apply for EMA if you’re beyond school leaving age and younger than 19 when you start your course. You must be on a full-time Further Education (FE – SCQF Level 1-6) course. Eligibility is based on your parental household income.
Unfortunately we have not yet received the 2024/25 guidance from the Scottish Government to allow us to award EMA. As soon as we have this we will start to work our way through the applications that we have received.
Please do not contact Student Funding for updates, you will be notified as soon as an award is made to you.
How much will I get for EMA?
If you’re granted EMA funding, you’ll receive £30 per college week. Please note, EMA isn’t payable during college holiday weeks.
