We are blessed to live in a state that prioritizes School Choice. As a parent who is choosing Private Christian Education for the child(ren) you have two options for financial aid.

• Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) Program

  • This is funded by the Department of Education and reallocates the money given by the state for each child to a public school to the school of your choice.

  • Please visit their website here for more information Welcome to Empowerment Scholarship Account | Arizona Department of Education

• School Tuition Organizations (STOs)

  • Are established under the Department of Revenue to receive income tax credit contributions that fund scholarships for students to attend qualified private schools located in Arizona.

  • To learn more about the state’s program, visit their website here Tax Credits | Arizona Department of Revenue

  • There are two major categories under STO:

    • Individual/Corporate Tax-Credits which are given either as a donation directed towards a family/child under the covering of the school in which they plan to attend or as a donation directed to the school enabling the school to then direct those funds to a family in need.

    • Corporate Scholarships are pools of donated state income tax liabilities that give opportunity for families to apply for various scholarships based on need. For eligibility details visit Parents — School Choice Arizona

Living Streams School has partnered with multiple STOs to help your family receive Individual Tax-Credits donated to your child or family.
