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 options for financial assistance.

• Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) Program

  • This program 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. These scholarship opportunities are for families considered to be low income, students with disabilities, or students who are currently or were once in Arizona's foster care system.
