Paying with Step Up
-
Your scholarship account in EMA
Your Unique Abilities (FES-UA) or PEP funds live in your Education Market Assistant (EMA) account.
-
Janessa teaches the sessions
You choose Janessa in EMA and reserve funds for the sessions you plan.
-
Step Up pays Janessa directly
After each session, Janessa sends the payment request. You can track it in EMA.
The four steps in EMA
-
Log in to your Education Market Assistant (EMA) account.
EMA is where your Unique Abilities (FES-UA) or PEP funds live. Use the official Step Up login page.
-
In EMA, open Marketplace and choose Find Providers.
Search for my listing, Janessa Prince LLC.
-
Choose Janessa and reserve funds for your sessions.
Reserve a few weeks at a time. You can adjust as the schedule settles.
-
After each session, I submit the payment request and Step Up pays me directly.
You can review and track every payment in EMA.
Prefer to pay first and get paid back? Families can request a reimbursement in EMA for an eligible expense they paid out of pocket. Direct pay is simpler, and it keeps your money in your pocket.
Paying with AAA Scholarship Foundation
AAA works differently from Step Up, because payments start with a request in AAA’s Scholarship Management Platform. With FES-UA, FES-UA families can ask AAA to pay a provider directly by submitting a Direct Vendor Payment Request with the provider's invoice. With PEP, PEP through AAA is a reimbursement program: you pay the provider, then request repayment in the Scholarship Management Platform.
I send FES-UA families invoices for direct payment and PEP families paid receipts for reimbursement. The rate is the same as for every other family.

Payment questions
Is the rate the same with Step Up and private pay?
Yes. You pay the same rate either way, and there are no discounts or extras tied to how you pay.
Will I ever pay out of pocket with Step Up?
Not with direct pay, as long as you have funds reserved in EMA for your sessions. If your balance runs low, I will let you know before it runs out.
What if my scholarship funds run low?
I will tell you before reserved funds run out, so you can decide whether to adjust the schedule, wait for the next quarterly funding, or switch to private pay for a while.
Is there a limit on how much tutoring Step Up pays for?
Part-time tutoring is capped at 720 hours a year for grades K-3 and 900 hours a year for grades 4-12. A typical twice-weekly schedule stays well under the cap.
