Education Maintenance Allowances Awarded In Wales 2009/10 (provisional), 28/01/10 [W]

The latest National Statistics on Education Maintenance Allowances produced by the Welsh Assembly Government.

The key points from the latest release are:

By 25 December 2009, a total of 37,480 EMA Wales applications had been received, an increase of 10 per cent compared with the same point in 2008/09.
34,280 (91 per cent) of applications received were approved, whilst 740 (2 per cent) applications were rejected.
83 per cent of approved applications were from students with a household income of £21,885 or less and thus were entitled to the maximum EMA of £30 per week.
15,420 (45 per cent) of approved applications in 2009/10 were for 16 year olds. 13,640 (40 per cent) were for 17 year olds and 5,230 (15 per cent) were for 18 year olds and over.
Retention bonuses were paid in September to 14,200 students continuing their studies from 2008/09, an increase of 17 per cent compared with the same stage last year.
