A short informational video (speakers Keith Jacobs and Kelly Dwanger from Step Up For Students) explaining that student scholarships can be used via the EMA Marketplace to purchase services from contracted public schools without full-time enrollment. Services include in-person and virtual electives, AP courses, therapies, career training, and after-school activities. The video instructs parents to log into their EMMA account, view the Contracted Public School Services section, scan a QR code for details, and contact local districts if their district is not listed.
