Spanish-language YouTube guidance (by Manisha Snoyer / Step Up for Students) explaining next steps after a student is awarded a PEP scholarship. Covers what an Education Savings Account (ESA) is and approved uses, a three-step onboarding process (confirm eligibility/withdraw enrollment, complete/update the Student Learning Plan in EMA, and administer/submit a norm-referenced test in year one), how and when funds are deposited (quarterly in four equal payments), ways to spend funds (My Scholar Shop, find providers, or reimburse out-of-pocket), the ESA fiscal year (July 1–June 30) and rollover rules, and reminders about monitoring balances and contacting Step Up for Students for help.

Questions this video answers
