answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>The Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) was phased out from September 2011 with the final payments being made in August 2012. It was replaced with the 16-19 Bursary Fund which was available from September 2011. Students who began courses in 2010/11 and continued in 2011/12 could receive transitional support. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds who had received a full EMA award of £30 a week continued to receive EMA support at a lower level of £20 a week during 2011/12. Those in higher income brackets who had previously claimed a partial EMA award of £10 or £20 a week no longer received EMA, but all young people could apply for support from the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund.</p><p> </p><p>There was considerable research undertaken following the introduction of the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund to evaluate this new approach. The reports are available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-the-16-to-19-bursary-fund-year-1-report" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-the-16-to-19-bursary-fund-year-1-report</a>.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 24/01/2018 15:15:31 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
