Pay with Step Up For Students
Teddy Dupay Basketball Academy is a fully approved Step Up provider, and we invoice the state directly — so you never pay up front and wait to be paid back. Hold your spot below with no card, then we walk you through the EMA part click by click. About three minutes, start to finish.
1 · Hold your spot — no card
This saves your place with us and emails you the walkthrough. Nothing is owed here.
2 · Send the funds in EMA
The search only answers to our full name — copy it, don’t type it.
- Copy our name — the button above does it in one tap.
- Open EMA and log in. It opens in its own tab, so these steps stay right here.
- Click Marketplace on the left-hand menu.
- Click Find Providers.
- Choose your student from the dropdown.
- Paste our name into the search bar and search. It has to be the full name — the short name finds nothing.
- Click Teddy Dupay Basketball Academy, then choose the Tampa location on West Kennedy Blvd.
- Pick the listing that matches what you reserved here — same name, same price. Quantity is 1.
- Click Add to Cart, then Reserve Funds. That’s it — the scholarship sends the funds to us.
We confirm your spot by email once the reservation lands on our side. Can’t find the listing, or EMA looks different on your screen? Text (813) 518-8739 or reply to our email — we will take care of it with you.
