The state of Arizona offers four tax credit scholarships for private school students. ACSTO awards scholarships for the two that are funded by donations from individual taxpayers: Original and Overflow. However, there are two other types of scholarships available through the Corporate Tax Credit Program which our sister organization School Choice Arizona provides.
To see which Private School Tax Credit Scholarships your student qualifies for, complete our Scholarships Questionnaire below.
