    Step Up for Students - Scholarships!

    Mrs. Brittany Theimer
    Applications are NOW OPEN for the 24-25 school year! Please log in to your EMA account and follow the steps to re-apply. For new families, please create an account at https://www.stepupforstudents.org/ and complete the application process. Once approved, please send your child’s updated Award ID# to ktripp@weissschool.org. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Kayla Tripp at ktripp@weissschool.org.
     
    Current Scholarship Recipients The scholarship and your school tuition due are based on receiving the funding you were awarded from Step Up.  If the April amount due is higher, that means we have not received the full funding yet.  The tuition account is credited when funding is physically received.  If we have not received the funding from Step Up by the last payment due date, you are still responsible for the remaining tuition.  If the funding comes in after you have made your last scheduled payment, you will be reimbursed, or you can choose to credit the amount towards the next school year’s tuition. If you have any questions regarding your tuition, please contact mlenz@weissschool.org.
