Current Year 12 and incoming Year 11 learners – could you be eligible for EMA? The household income threshold has changed.

If you haven’t previously claimed EMA, you can apply online through Student Finance Wales from 28th April 2025. Those already receiving EMA can see Mrs Davies to complete their paperwork.
