FAQs: Moving on
Leaving school?
You'll no longer receive weekly EMA payments from the date of your last full week of attendance.
Your school will inform us of your leaving date, and your record will be cancelled. If you are in S6, you'll only be paid until the end of the exam period.
Moving on to Higher Education?
Other forms of financial support may be available for Higher Education at University or College.
Further information is available from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland if your home address is in Scotland.
Student Finance Direct may also be of interest if you intend to study or have your usual home address in England.
Moving on to the community/voluntary Activity Agreement scheme?
You may be eligible to re-apply for EMA. Please check with your Advisor.
Moving to Further Education in College?
You may be eligible to receive a bursary from the college. Contact them directly for further information about financial support.
