Arizona Residents

Arizona residents have access to two scholarship programs. Note: a student cannot receive both ESA and STO funding in the same year — our team can help you decide what fits your family best.

Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA)


Education tax dollars follow your student to the school of your choice — covering tuition, supplies, tutoring and more. Parents have the right to choose what's best for their family.

School Tuition Organizations (STO)

STOs receive tax credit donations from individuals and corporations to fund private school scholarships. VVS participates in the STO program.

Partner STOs

School Tuition Organizations (STOs) receive tax credit donations from individuals and corporations to support scholarships for eligible students to cover private school tuition costs.

Verde Valley School has partnered with the following STOs, and all Arizona resident applicants exploring tuition assistance are encouraged to apply to each of these:
