Think you can’t afford a quality Christian Education?
Think again!
1. EMPOWERMENT SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNT (ESA)
In the fall of 2022, Governor Ducey signed legislation that enables every Arizona k-12 student to qualify for ESA. This is open to all children regardless of what school they currently attend or family income level; proof of residency is required. ESA will give between $4000-$6964 per child for parents to choose which school best fits their child’s needs. Families who choose ESA funds cannot accept any STO (Student Tuition Organization) scholarships.
2. School tuition organization (STO) Scholarship
STO’s have made it possible for thousands of families to send their children to Christian schools through the Private School Tax Credit Program. Many ECA families take advantage of these through IBE (institute for Better Education) and other ECA recommended STO Entities. When Arizona taxpayer makes a donation to one of ECA’s STOs, they recieve a dollar for dollar credit against their state tax liability. In addition, when a taxpayer makes a donation to IBE or one of our affiliated (ECA) STOs, they can identify the school and recommend a student who is not their own dependent to be considered for a scholarship! Great program.

3. Income-Based Financial Aid

ECA has many families who utilize this scholarship. When applying for ECA’s affiliated STOs in #2 make sure you select the box that “Financial Aid or Corporate Awards” are being applied for.
