Financial Aid

Funding Private School Tuition Through Arizona Tax Credits

Arizona Tuition Connection is hosting a limited series of Zoom sessions for families entering private school. These sessions introduce parents to Arizona’s tax credit scholarship program and explain how families can use the current tax season to help fund 2026-2027 tuition. Historically, these sessions have been especially valuable for newly enrolled families, providing the tools and guidance needed to secure scholarships before the first tuition bill arrives.

Upcoming sessions: Monday, January 19 at 5:30 p.m. and Thursday, January 29 at 12:00 p.m. Registration is required. Register for January 19 here and January 29 here.

Scholarship & ESA Coaching Session 

Navigating tax credit scholarships and the Universal ESA program can feel overwhelming, but Salpointe is here to help. Join us on Monday, January 26 at 5:00 p.m. for a Scholarship Optimization Session, hosted in partnership with Arizona Tuition Connection.

Families will learn how to maximize scholarship opportunities, simplify the tax credit process, and access tools that can significantly reduce, or even fully cover, tuition costs. Scholarships are available for all income levels, so every family is encouraged to attend.

Get a head start by applying before the session. For questions, contact Arizona Tuition Connection at 480-409-4106 or info@arizonatuitionconnection.com. View flyer here.
