Promoting the EMA scheme

Schools and colleges play a vital role in the promotion of the EMA scheme. They're an important resource for students seeking guidance. This especially applies to year 11 and 12 students, who may need advice about their options after compulsory schooling.

We therefore ask you to promote awareness of the financial support available under the EMA scheme.

We’ll send you publicity material that includes leaflets, posters, guides and application packs. Please distribute these to students and display them in areas where they can be easily seen.

Although the EMA application pack has information and guidance for students, we ask you to offer encouragement and advice about completing and returning the form. This could also apply to parents or guardians.

Please also promote awareness of the EMA scheme at career days, parent evenings and college open days. You can use the EMA publicity materials we provide each year to share with your students.
