SCHOLARSHIPS
The State of Arizona is unique in that it offers scholarships to Arizona Christian Schools and their students. At this time, there are two different options when it comes to scholarships for private schools. You can choose to apply for ESA or STOs. The differences between the two are outlined below.​
Empowerment Scholarship (ESA)
Universal ESA is available for any Arizona Resident and has no other stipulations for application.
ESA is an exclusive scholarship and cannot be combined with any other scholarship. ESA typically awards between 75%-100% of TBA's annual tuition depending on a student's grade level.
ACSTO has created a very helpful guide for you as parents to know what ESA is, how it compares to STOs, and how you can take advantage of it as an Arizona resident. This guide is linked below.
School Tuition Organizations (STOs)
Arizona taxpayers have the opportunity to designate their state tax dollars to go towards Christian schools. This is a wonderful opportunity to allow your tax dollars to further the next generation through Christian education. Most of our current students have received funds through the following scholarship organizations.
​
**STOs listed above can be used in combination with each other.
