Financing post-16 education

Whether your pupils are going on to training or FE college, the information on financial support for ages 16 to 19 will apply.

Some young people can benefit from extra financial help to enable them to stay on in post-16 education. This leaflet explains how the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) can help young people to continue their education in school sixth forms, sixth-form colleges, FE colleges and on NVQ / GNVQ further education courses.
