Education Maintenance Allowance - financial help for senior pupils

EMA payment dates

EMA payments are not paid during the Easter, Summer, October and Christmas holidays (with the exception of Activity Agreement pupils). You will only be paid for weeks in which the school is open for at least three days, so you will not be paid for holiday weeks.
