A short instructional video by Manisha Snoyer explaining how to activate and use a Step up for Students private school scholarship (ESA). It walks recipients through selecting a participating private school, providing the student award ID from the EMA account to the school, having the school submit an enrollment form in EMA, and approving the enrollment in EMA so funds pay the school. The video also explains funding logistics: awards are deposited quarterly in four equal parts, cover the academic year July 1–June 30, unused funds roll over, past-year purchases are not covered, and families are responsible for any costs above the awarded amount. It points viewers to schoolahoop.org to find eligible schools and to the Step up for Students Contact page for further help.

Welcome and congratulations on your private school scholarship from Step up for Students. Your student scholarship funds will soon be placed in your esa. It's like a bank account that you can use to pay for tuition and fees at a participating school. And leftover funds can be spent on approved educational items and services. In order to use your funds, you your student must be enrolled in a private school in Emma. So if you haven't already selected a school, visit schoolahoop.org to choose from over 2,000 eligible schools. Once you've selected your school, follow these three steps to get set up. Step 1 the school will need your award ID for successful enrollment. Here's how to find it. First, log in to your EMA account, scroll down to the My Students section and make note of your student's award ID for the current year. Now you're ready to share it with your school. Step 2 Contact your chosen private school as soon as possible. Share your award ID and ask them to complete your student's school enrollment form through their EMA account. This will allow your scholarship funds to be paid directly to your school. Step 3 Once the school has submitted your enrollment form, you'll get a request for approval. Log back into Emma and select Submit under your student's name and click to Enroll. Be sure to double check your student status on the My Student section. It should now say Enrolled. Please check for specific deadlines and complete this step as soon as possible to avoid any payment delay. Great job. Your student scholarship is now set up. Please keep some important information in mind as you take the next steps on your journey. Your scholarship funds will be awarded quarterly in four equal parts. You'll receive a notification when funds are added to your student's account. Your ESA funds can be used to support the full academic year from July 1 to June 30. Remember, we cannot cover purchases made in previous years, but any unused funds will roll over into the next year. And finally, please monitor your scholarship balance with care as you are responsible for any expenses that go beyond the available funds. If your tuition and fees are larger than your awarded funds, you'll need to pay the difference to the school directly. Still have questions?
