How Step Up funding works
A simple view of the marketplace steps.
Families using Step Up For Students scholarship funds submit purchase requests through the EMA marketplace themselves. Clear:Path never determines scholarship eligibility or awards funds, and Clear:Path does not walk families through the EMA process.
01
Review the listing
Read the service details, schedule, and pricing in the marketplace so you can decide whether it fits your learner.
02
Submit your request
You submit the purchase request through EMA yourself. Clear:Path does not submit it on your behalf.
03
Coordinate the service
If your request is approved and arranged through the marketplace, we connect on the scheduled rhythm for the service you selected.
What Clear:Path does
- Publishes clear service information to review.
- Delivers the scheduled guidance or learning service described in the listing.
- Keeps communication focused on the service and the learner’s next steps.
A clear boundary
Clear:Path never determines scholarship eligibility or awards funds. Clear:Path does not walk families through the EMA process. For account and eligibility questions, use the official Step Up and EMA resources.
