EMA Guarantee
Wednesday 03 June 2009
Under the EMA Guarantee, learners who have been paid during the 2008/09 academic year do not need to reapply.
The EMA Guarantee means that they will be eligible for support at the same level until the end of the academic year in which they turn 19.
Learners who received an EMA payment during 2008/09 will automatically receive a continuing entitlement letter and an EMA agreement before the end of May 2009.
Those learners who are enrolled on an E2E programme of study that will not extend beyond 31st August 2009 and who have not received a full income assessment in the 2008/09 EMA year are not eligible for the EMA Guarantee and should reapply for support in 2009/10.
Further details about the EMA Guarantee and the 2009/10 applications process are available here.
