Have Questions About Registration or Payment?
These answers explain how registration, Sawyer, and Step Up for Students payments work.
Do I still register in Sawyer if I am using Step Up for Students? Yes. All families register for programs through our Sawyer registration system, even if they plan to use Step Up for Students scholarship funds. This allows us to reserve your student’s place in the program and place a credit card on file.
Why is a deposit required when registering through Sawyer? A small deposit is required during registration to confirm your student’s spot in the program and to place a credit card on file. Scholarship payments are then submitted through the EMA portal and applied to your Sawyer account balance.
How do I pay using the EMA portal? Parents log into their Education Market Assistant (EMA) account and submit payments that match the weekly program charge and program description. Families may choose how many weeks they would like to pay for at one time, up to 10 weeks.
How do I know what my remaining balance is? All payments made through EMA are applied to your student’s Sawyer account. Families can log into Sawyer at any time to view their remaining balance and payment history. You can also ask the office for help.
Are EMA payments applied automatically? No. EMA payments must be approved by parents in the EMA portal. Once approved, payments are manually applied to your Sawyer account balance.
What happens if we need to withdraw from a program? Because enrollment reserves a student’s place in a program, deposits are non-refundable. If a student withdraws, families are responsible for charges already incurred. Please contact us if circumstances change and we will work with you to review your account.
Can EMA payments be refunded? EMA payments follow Step Up for Students guidelines. Once funds are submitted and applied to a program, refunds must follow scholarship program policies.
