EMA payment at 19

Hey,

I am currently 18, and I am turning 19 in December. I am in my first year doing a level 3 btec in ICT as I went back to college at a later date. This year I am eligible for EMA payments, but next year will I still be eligible on the basis that I started this course when I was 18? Or will I no longer be eligible because I will be 19 on September of next year?

Thanks! 😊

If you are in England, then the EMA has been replaced by the 16-19 bursary fund. According to the following webpage, you will be known as a '19+ continuer' (as you started the course before you turned 19) and would still be eligible for funding:
