How it works

From tax credit to tuition scholarship.

Arizona’s Private School Tax Credit program allows taxpayers to redirect a portion of their state income tax to an STO like DTSTO.

For donors: your simple 3-step path

You don’t have to give more—you just choose where a portion of your existing Arizona income tax goes.

  1. Make your donation online or by mail, up to annual limits.
  2. Optionally recommend a school or student (no guarantees; compliance required).
  3. Claim your Arizona tax credit using the receipt we provide.

Important: An STO cannot award scholarships solely based on donor recommendation; swapping and dependent designations are prohibited.

For parents & schools: what to expect

We coordinate review and disbursement so scholarships are applied to tuition accounts at partner schools.

  1. Parents complete an online scholarship application and upload documentation.
  2. Our team reviews applications, considers available funds, and coordinates with the school.
  3. Approved scholarships are paid directly to the school.
