Scholarships are available from tax credits administered by School Tuition Organizations (STOs) and from the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) Program administered by the Arizona Department of Education.
For more information about the ESA Program, go to https://www.azed.gov/esa. Arizona Tuition Connection hosts Scholarship Opportunity workshops throughout the year. These workshops are designed to take the confusion out of the tax credit scholarship process. The goal is to provide you with the information and tools you need to be successful in getting your child’s tuition paid through scholarships. We encourage all families to attend, but especially families of children who are in their first year at Desert Garden Montessori
