Renewal Information
Hello Parents,
Please review the information below for instructions on how to renew your student's scholarship for the upcoming 2023-2024 School Year.
Step-Up will be using a new online portal called “EMA,” your Education Market Assistant.
You will need to renew your student’s scholarship through this new EMA portal. With EMA, families will now have only ONE account where they can manage the scholarships for all their students across multiple programs.
We have included a video to help walk you through the process of creating your EMA account and importing your renewal students’ information from the old system. Once this is done, simply click the “Apply” button for the appropriate scholarship program to renew your student’s scholarship.
Please click the link to watch a video on how to create your new EMA account and how to renew your student’s scholarship for the upcoming school year.
Students will no longer be issued a scholarship award letter when they are approved. Once a student is approved, the child’s school will be able to look them up in the database to enroll them. Therefore, once you have renewed your student’s scholarship for the upcoming school year online in the EMA Portal, please email us at (office@csjax.org) to let us know that you have completed this process.
Please complete your student’s scholarship renewal as soon as possible to ensure they receive funding.
If you have any issues completing this process, please contact Step-Up for Students at (1-877-735-7837) or contact the school office at (904-730-5500).
