What is the Arizona Private School Tax Credit Program?
Arizona is leading the nation in school choice, and the scholarship tax credit program is one key way that our state is making it possible for thousands of students to attend the schools that their parents believe best meets the needs of their child. This program allows Arizona taxpayers to contribute a portion of their Arizona state tax liability to a Student Tuition Organization (STO) and take a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their Arizona state income tax return while recommending those dollars go to a specific student or school.
