In Arizona, an Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) is a state-funded program that allows parents to use a portion of their child's public education funding for various educational expenses, including private school tuition, homeschooling, and tutoring.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
What it is:
An ESA is an account administered by the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) and funded by state tax dollars.
How it works:
ESA funds cover 90% of the state funding that would otherwise be allocated to the school district or charter school for the qualified student (excluding federal or local funding).
What it can be used for:
ESA funds can be used for private school tuition, homeschooling, tutoring, online education, therapies, and other educational expenses.
Who is eligible:
The ESA program is "universal," meaning all K-12 students in Arizona, including pre-K students with disabilities, are eligible to receive an ESA.
How to apply:
Families who would like to apply for an Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account should visit the Arizona Department of Education website for details on the application process.
ESA Parent Handbook and Resources:
