Well the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) scheme in England, closed to new applicants on 1 January 2011. Schools, colleges and training providers have funds to help you if you’re studying or starting a course and face financial hardship. For advice speak to student support services or your tutor.

Forms should be available now for the next academic year.

Wales - EMA

England - EMA

Northern Ireland - EMA

If you're in Scotland you can still claim for next year ... but only if you've been in Scotland for at least 2 years ... so no point in running over the border to claim

My son qualified last year in the UK ... ended up paying it all to his Mum for "Rent" ... ho hum!
