"EMA"

I was just wondering if any of you recive EMA (Education Maintinence Allowance) and if you do, when does it usually get payed into your bank account?

Ah ha, that's just great.

Of course, I'm only complaining because I just missed out on this "slackers get paid" scheme. Still wrong though.

£10 a week don't make me go into college anymore, I just go in for a laugh and to learn of course. Plus you get £100 bonus every term which is class

I know, but money is wasted trying to encourage those who don't normally want to carry on education, instead of those who purely want to because they want to learn.

Just calm down, people.

It encourages people to stay on/sta in.

It's good.

I can get it, but I don't.

But they're not. There's far more to take into account than how much they get paid.

But why? Staying on and learning will only benefit you. To receive more rewards rather than pay for it is stupid. I mean, if you didn't want to stay on and learn, that's your choice.

Maybe because your parents are more then wealthy enough to offer you financial support.

Well...that's the whole point.

Seriously, scroungers. The government are paying you to stay on and learn.
