Education Mantinance Allowance

We get £30 a week (or less depending on parents wage)

[xDramatick]

Nope
Applied mid-august and all i've got is a letter saying that i've been processed and will receive another letter shortly :\

It annoys me though.
I really need the money.
I've turned up everyday and college are saying they'll only pay back 4 weeks, and only if i got this sheet signed by all my tutors, everyday.
It's not fair because I've been in everyday, every lesson and the registers reflect that :\
I should be backpaid for everything.

I applied in late September, its strange how I have mine so early

[MarkWaldorf]

Nope I don't qualify for it as my parents earn too much or something. Nearly everyone in my year gets it though.

haha, a girl in my class was complaining because she doesn't get EMA and I'm like 'that's a good thing! it means your family earns enough to support you' lmfao.

College stuff/lunch I suppose.
I only need Lunch one day cos the rest are all half days so i can eat at home.
Most of mine would go on clothes [hard to dance/move in skinnies ++costume stuff for shows that college can't provide] and general stuff like that.

For someone doing A Levels, I suppose it'd be for stationary, text books etc.

[Indierock&roll]

i dont get an ema i dont think.. well my sister never.. so i presume i dont?
i want it though because then people will actually have money and i wont as my mum and dad seem to get in the biggest mood if i ask for some its like yep i do want a social life thank you

[Princess]

*feels Irish* No but we get 'free' fees for 3rd level,they increased the registration fee already but theres a HUGE protest in Dublin tomorrow against full fees.

Seriouslyy?! Everyone always speaks about spending it on stuff not so educational.
