Who This Covers

Physical Education Is an Approved Expense

Step Up For Students lists physical education as an authorized expense, including sports lessons, sports fees, and equipment. Students on any of these four scholarships may use funds for P.E.

Personalized Education

Not sure which scholarship you have, or how much is left? That lives in your EMA account, and only you can see it. We will never ask you for your login, and we will never look at your account. Check your balance before you register so you know what you are working with.
Two Ways to Pay

Pick the One That Fits You

Both are allowed. The difference is whether money leaves your pocket first.

Direct Pay

Nothing out of your pocket

  1. 1 Register with us the normal way so we have your athlete on the roster.
  2. 2 Log in to your EMA account and find FCP Sports under Find Providers.
  3. 3 Your athlete attends. Step Up only allows a direct-pay request after the service has been delivered, so this step waits until sessions have run.
  4. 4 Submit the payment request in EMA. Step Up pays us directly.

Best for ongoing programs like a full league season or a block of lessons.

Reimbursement

You pay, Step Up pays you back

  1. 1 Register and pay us the normal way, by card.
  2. 2 We email you an itemized receipt with your athlete's name, the program, the dates, and the amount.
  3. 3 Upload that receipt in EMA as a reimbursement request. You can submit for services up to four months ahead, so you do not have to wait for the season to end.
  4. 4 Step Up reimburses you directly.

Best if you want your athlete's spot locked in immediately, or you are close to a registration deadline.

Approval and timing are decided by Step Up For Students, not by us. We can give you every document you need, but we cannot approve a request or promise a payment date.

Paperwork

What We Hand You

Reimbursements get denied over sloppy documents. Ours are built to pass the first time.

Itemized receipt, not a card slip
Student's full legal name on the receipt
Exact service dates and program name
Proof of payment as its own document
Our EMA-approved provider details
A non-refundable letter if you need one

Stuck on the EMA Side?

Call us and we will walk you through what we can see on our end, and tell you exactly which document you are missing. For anything inside your own account, Step Up's family line is the right call.
