So they give you free money, and then a bonus on top?

Mattitude · 2 Jul 2008 at 18:00

lol! sorry guys! at least im not like most students who **** it away each week. i get £30 each week, for food and petrol. You get a £100 bonus every so often i wanted to know when.

What the... I got £5 a month for petrol from my dad. You get £30 a week from the taxpayer for food & petrol?!? Or is that just the thin veneer behind which hides a scheme for bribing people to stay in education. How about this for a reward for your education; you work hard & you get a better job. You slack off, you end up on the bins.

It seems that you're directing your anger at the OP. He is entitled to it, so he'd be a fool not to claim it.

Give the boy a break, he only asked a question. He is obviously entilted to it and must be working hard to get the money each week. I think its a good idea. Take your jealousy else where.

I finished my course in June and recieved my final £100 bonus a week ago.

Did you complete your learner agreement and achieve all the bonus criteria?

You need to have been in every day or had a reason to be excused.

I've had 3 bonuses throughout my 2 year course.

I'm not sure about now, but I got my January bonus and I didn't have 100% attendance.

TBH, the rules aren't exactly strict.

There was once when the tutor was being very strict but it might have been something to do with her *ahem* cycle.

I thought we get it in September when we go back to college. Maybe I'm wrong. My attendance has been a little shady in the past 3 weeks, I hope I still get it... I could really do with the money.

Umm im a sixteen year old, who goes to sixth form/college.
Basically i cant get EMA because my parents earn over the limit to recieve this.
But most of mates get it and really it intensivly annoys me because a lot of them keep this as personal money and doesnt go on anything else. Where as i have to work to provide any extra money i want, and they get money for going to school like the same as me.
Umm personally im not sure if i would take, well actually i would take it, but i know that i can support my self without getting incentives *payed* to go to school, school kids should know that carrying on in education will ultimatly will give them a better future.

Its a craply set up system like most of the ways the government gives money away but I wasnt complaining when they wanted to throw a tenner at me every week

Tobes · 2 Jul 2008 at 19:35

I get ALG! £30 a week to go to college

Sadly I don't actually go to every lesson so no payment.

Ah well. lol
