Education Maintenance Allowance

What happens after you apply

We aim to get all claims processed before the first payment date in September. If you apply after this, you should hear from us within four weeks of submitting your application. If you do not hear from us by then, email ema@fife.gov.uk.

Once your claim has been processed, we will write to you with the next steps. This will include asking you to complete a learning agreement with your school or college. This agreement details what is expected of you in terms of attendance, coursework and progress.
