Information from the American Federation for Children
The Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program offered through the Arizona Department of Education can help send your child to a private school or home school for little to no cost! Thousands of Arizona students in Pre-K through 12th grade are currently eligible for a state-funded Empowerment Scholarship Account or ESA. You still have time to apply for the upcoming academic school year!
ESA’s allow parents to receive their child’s allotted education dollars to pay for:
Private School tuition (including religious schools)
Homeschool curriculum
Uniforms
Tutoring
Therapies
Books and more!
